Re: my first real drive (not without its problems)



Hi all,

I had a very similar problem with the engine dying for no apparent 
reason, it turned out to be water in the fuel tank. If you fill up 
the fuel tank with a bit more petrol/gass then see if the problem 
continues if it does then there is a strong posibility that there is 
water in the fuel system. The water will stay at the bottom of the 
tank no matter how much fuel you put in because as we all know fuel 
is less dense than water and will therefore float ontop of the water. 
When I had my problem I had driven for a long while with no problems 
but as soon as I came to the slightest incline which was enough to 
send the water to the rear of the fuel tank the engine would die.

Although it is probably likly to the a missing fuel baffel water in 
the tank is often somthing which is overlooked. If it does turn out 
to be water I can give you some tips about how to sort it without too 
much hassell.

Speak to you all again soon,

James
