Fuel tank geometry [water in fuel]... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I HIGHLY suggest that if you find water in your tank, that you pump off as much water as you can, THEN add alcohol / water remover AFTERWARD.

==================================================
I got water in the tank.

Q: Does the fuel pump jumper push both pumps?

[edit: THE FUEL PUMP JUMPER PUSHES BOTH PUMPS!!!]
--------------------

Last week I had a mild sputter. Next day it was worse. No SES. Then I remembered water in the filler neck. Gas cap had been tight, and it hisses when removed, so I thought, 'good seal', water didn't get in, even after it filled AGAIN the day after I pulled the Junebug

Sunday hard start, then NO START.

FP test yesterday.

Paper towel for spill:

Tape the release valve on the FP gauge, and jump the pump test terminal til fuel comes through clear.

Result:

I put in a Heet Water Remover in the tank.

Then sprayed starting fluid into the TB, and it fired, but only for a moment.

Hopefully today the water is in solution...

Ideas?
