Karratha - water in fuel
Submitted by pale ale on Mon, 2011-02-07 17:16
Just curious Karratha boys, have you had any watery fuel since the rains have hit.
I have noticed my VT comm is being a prick to start and seems to be lacking a bit of power. Maybe I got some watery fuel????
Hope you all got good water separators on ya boats!

Water in Fuel
Hi Pale ale for the first time i drained water out of the bowl on my separater after the New Years rains.
Have given it a dose of fuel treatment so hope its the end.
Spoke to the guy who services the engine and he said he has heard more of this year than any other.
Haven,t seen any water since, fingers crossed

I refuelled my car at the
I refuelled my car at the Caltex in Nickol. Has been a real bitch to start since. I just put some injector cleaner in the tank on Sunday, and it does seem to be better. I dunno if the injector cleaner is just a gimmick, but for $12 it seems to be starting a lot easier.

Water in Fuel
I sometimes fill up there too,might be where I got the water .
I bought from Repco F10 fuel treatment its says it does Petrol Diesel and 2 Strokes
I think it has cleared up the water in the boat tank ,so I gave the Landcruiser a dose.
We used to use Fuel Set when I worked in the mines but couldn,t get in town (it works).
