Thread: Water in fuel

a few weeks ago (after all our floods) I was about to fill up at my usual servo , drove in , suddenly realised that the servo had been under water a few days and quickly drove straight through.

there were plenty of customers filling up but I wasn't game to....

I'm just wondering when or if I should go back there.....there's plenty of other servos that didn't flood near me.

Depends on the vehicle and fuel type, if it was a common rail diesel it would have been all over and big bucks to fix.
