Water collects in the low spots- airplanes may have several- find the low spot in your tank and screw a damn petcock in there, drain it once in a while and see if you get any goo.
Hell, I may be riding with you when it craps out- and I DON"T LIKE TO WALK!:harhar:
You seen my 'feet' I CAN't walk, like got nuttin to do with it....
:crutches:
as to the tank, I really dunno the last time I drained it untill just last week, and I remember doing it way before on two occations down here, but the engine just flat died with NO GAS in the lines.....I did not know gas and water would eventually combine into that crappy stinky coffee looking mess.....I figgered it would be just.... water on bottom, and gas on top....so obviously that little lack of knowledge drove me crazy...:tomato: for some 3-4 years now.....just enough shit in the bottom to allow just enough gas to run the engine, funny that if it got through the sock at all, it wasn't just allowed to circulate through on a regular basis....gas/water must be somehow block by that sock, and just a bit got through...but then running it that lo, well, funny the engine ran fine for about 30 seconds when filling the tank at roadside....but then it shook violently and died, would not restart....acted like a carb outta gas....
I drained the 4-5 gallons I put in, and stuck it in the van/truck...runs fine...but that final 1" of crap, is what I used the highly explosive shop vac to suck it out with, Thanks for the tip....TT, made things so much easier and quicker.....:stirpot::stirpot::lol::lol::hunter:
so I"m right back to my basic question...why the vette, and the vette only, why is this engine more 'sensitive' to the water problem....why the water problem at ALL in the first place....it makes NO sense to my techy mind....
unless some old 'friends' are messing with the tank....hense the locking gas cap.....
:suicide:
