Hi gang,

My ST 1300 has done 150000 klms without a glitch, last month it started to missfire and would not idle....Friendly motorcycle mechanic at Helensburgh diagnosed a crook batch of petrol where I had picked up some water...Remedy a good fuel additive allowed the water to pass through the injectors, have done another 3000 klms with no further problems.

Brock:
A good dose of metho helps there, it absorbs the water and allows it to mix with the fuel and get burnt, ( in a way that is) sort of give as water meth injection.

Got a mate do it to his car in Malaysia after he caught his very young son helping him by filling the tank in the car with the hose. He needed a few gallons of metho but. :rofl :rofl :rofl

spanner:
Do you put the metho in with the fuel or do you put it in an empty-ish tank?

Biggles:
Add it at any stage.  It "finds" the water and mixes with it making it "flammable".
No technical terms were used in this post.    :grin

Brock:
There is a formula for the correct amount of metho to completely mix with the water, but as the quantity of water is unknown then the amount of metho is unknown. The best method in this case, is a coup[le or three gluggs plus a couple more for good luck.
