Whoops running on water

Postby hipplew on Mon Mar 01, 2010 9:23 pm

Well a few of you may know that I have had issues with me fuel tank and that the breather pipe had come away Leaving a nice little hole so I plugged the hole with a cork and just to make sure a bit of araldite to hold everything in place :shock: :dance:

Well all I thought was well :shock: untill

Today going up the hill to get out of the village and I had a few judders loss of power, judder more loss of power then Tinker belle made it up the hill and I carried on my way just untill I got to the outskirts of peterhead (down hill with a nice S bend) then it started again this time even worse :(

So I limmped to the garage I use :?

So as It stands Tinker belle is being tinkerd with :lol: and I'm waiting for the phone call off the mechanic laughing his head off telling me how much water he has got out of the tank :oops:

Before you all ask how I know it's water well it's been a little wet up here with a combination of snow melt and the good old rain there have been some big puddles, ok rivers, that use to be roads so I've had a bit of wading to do.

Because I thought the tank was sealed, how can we say I've been wading with a little gusto :dance: :dance:

I drained the filter housing the other week, three times and got just over a liter of water out in total and thought that was all but after my little plays with water there must be just slightly more in than I thought.

Mind the first thing the mechanic did was checked the fuel pump and all was fine with it so thats one big thought off my mind :oops:

so here goes for water fueled Fronties

Edit:-
If my fronty was a petrol model I'd be building one of these.
If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.

Ok so I got it slightly wrong :oops: :oops: :oops:

it was'nt running on water after all

No

IT WAS


MAYONNAISE

Sadly I don't have any photo's, Mathew the machanic that I use, was in to many fit's of laughter :oops:

Still it's sorted now just need to sort the tank out

but one question that I have and that I did'nt ask the machanic is if there was mayo filling up the filter housing,

Then what are the possibilities of the plaque building up in the fuel pipes going to the engine :?: :?:

Must admit I'm of the thinking of renewing all the fuel pipe forward of the filter housing, the rear was new due to a previous leak

By the way If any of you ever get up to Aberdeenshire and end up with trouble with your Fronty then I cannot recommend the machanic I use enough

Now he realy has got petrol & diesle going through his vains

I'll post his details on the recomended page in the next couple of days
