there is not a level of certified tint that is acceptable.

Got a bad load of fuel in this leaving Matt's yesterday. Spent the whole trip home draining the fuel filter every 45m. Great fun.

Drained it for the 5th? time at Smike's shop, the water in fuel light came on leaving my house for Kim's as I was getting on 390! Drained it at her house, thankfully it started fine at 15Ëš this morning. No light yet. I put a half bottle of Howes in it, hoping against hope that it did some magic overnight. I was planning to run this tank real low, then refuel with the other half bottle of Howe's and change the under-4,000 mile filter ( :( ). If I keep getting WIF lights every 30 miles I may throw a filter on it sooner than later in case it's something else weird.

I called the station last night after I got to chez nord and the Mike I spoke to there said he wasn't aware of any other reported issues yesterday. Weird.

Some K100-D could go along real nicely with a Ford starter!

Is it actually draining water or is the sensor messed up?

I haven't had a container. I'm pretty certain that what's coming out is frothy. Draining it also turns off the light when nothing else does. Key cycle, it stays on. Drain, it turns off.

Pretty sure the water is real. WIF light came on while warming up at home. I was excited and grabbed a container, ready to see if it was really true… I open the petcock - nothing comes out. It's frozen.

Wasn't fully thawed by the time I got to my parents. Had to key up with it open to blow the shit out.



This is what the fuel looked like. I don't think howes makes it cloudy like that but dad thought it may. It looks to me like gelled fuel looks. Pressure is fine though. Going to let it settle inside in warm temps and see what comes of it.

looks like water to me.


the 4300 could have used an ARB getting up JC cabin road, but she was doing work at 25800lbs with Buggy and zj.  scaled after fueling on my way south. 


Pleased it started and did not crash into ditches
