My petrol troll used to drain it's fuel very quickly through the injectors!!!

i can't belive you need to empty any thing else in that much of a hurry!!!

 

[Adz]

Piss takers :doh :lol

I think i have mud n sand in me tank as me mini filter is blocked again just a day after i cleaned it :doh

Put a new filter on today & i think its burgered up already :doh

Could be the tank collapsed at the petrol station, I've been out to a few motors in the past where they have filled up a day or so ago and found tank full of water and sand, as sand surrounds the tanks at the station :nenau

Umm, well i think mines down to off roading :sly :naughty :doh :augie

Oh and while on this subject a little tip to people who find water in there tank and are unable to remove it all. Squirt some fairy washing up liquid in the tank (there are other brands available) and it helps bind the water to the diesel so it will be injected and burnt off instead of lying in the tank. may run a bit funny for a while, but it works.

My wake a squirt in tomorrow with a bit of petrol & some additive :thumbs

Failing that I'll take the bloody tank off & pressure wash it then rinse it out with some fresh diesel...

Hope you Don't have to mate especially if it has not been off for a while if ever, rusted nuts shearing off etc. what a ball ache

 

[Adz]

I'll use plenty of WD40 & keep me fingers crossed.....

Spent about an hour or so with me boss :bow

Took the tank off, drained it & cleaned it out
