So there's a farm truck at my job with a pinhole leak in the gas tank, a 95 Tacoma that runs awful due to water in the fuel system. When we have the time I'm planning on dropping the fuel tank, cleaning it out and either patching it or using a product that coats the inside of the tank. I'm sure I'll have to do the fuel filter as well.
But it's planting time and I doubt poor little Bill (the truck) will get any attention for a while yet. Any fuel additives BITOG would like to see tested in these extreme conditions in the mean time? ISOHeet or similar? I'd love to try some out and report back if they improve the way little Bill runs at all.
Right now there's no power from the gas pedal intermittently, lots of backfiring, and if the tank is low the motor will die pretty frequently. I usually get about halfway to the field we're in that day before I have to stop, crank the engine and get started roaring and puttering up the road again. It's kinda fun to drive on account of it not being my truck!
Got an additive you think might help? Let me know and if it's not prohibitively expensive I'll give it a try and report back!
