Bongo Fury

Looks like the owner was on the right track after all

And well done to Alacrity .

Take care.

Good news and fair play to the owner's perseverance.

Fair play to the owner and alacrity thats fantastic news, and the owner had an adventure he'll never forget
Good news all round and yet another bongo shall live on
p.s I take it the landrover is fine?

Hats off to Geoff (Alacrity) again for that one. Can't help but think it takes something to end up with that much water in a fuel tank. WTF?!?!

I am surprised that the Sediment warning light did not come on. If the garage still has a sample of the water it would be interesting to know if it tasted Salty (very slight taste).

Sound job, well done, and useful write up.

Thanks.

Yes, so water in the tank

To this day the only way I think it could have got there was an unscrupulous petrol station owner in Bratislava, as the problems started after filling up there. Unless in some way having a loose fuel cap sucks in water from the outside when it rains??! The other possibility is that I left it unlocked and some joker poured a load of water in the tank?! The last is that I filled up from the wrong pump and they charge an awful lot for water over in Slovakia

So bad fuel was my first thought but I guess something got lost in translation as I did raise the issue that it may have been bad fuel, but the mechanic never picked up on it. I was sooo close to retiring bongy...

That cost an absolute packet. I only hope the expense and pain leads to someone else not making the same mistake..
