Re: Water in Gas

The car seems to be running very well. It starts quickly and idles like it should. Power and acceleration back to normal.
The fuel supplier is saying that they can find no evidence of water in their tanks.

Re: Water in Gas

Is there any possible way for 1 1/2 gallons of water to get into the tank other than through the filler cap? Car is parked under motion detector lights and of course has the electric fuel door. Do not believe it was "messed with" in any way.

Re: Water in Gas

Took off rail, put hose on fuel line and pumped about 1 1/2 gallons of water out of it. PS -it will syphon from that fuel line if you have enough hose to get down to ground level. I used some fuel line that I had on hand.
