Contaminated Fuel
Hey guys, last night had a bit of bad luck that ended the the old girl on the back of a tilt tray.
I just fueled up Nd got back on the high way went about 20km when I waterbin fuel pump light came on so im looking for a place to pull over I start getting smoke though the dash next thing I know the temp shot from nothing to off the top slammed it off the road and cut the engine. The photo is where is was straying all the steam from. Do you think the fuel is related?

Have you split a hose and boiled it ???
-
Nar hoses are all fine no cracks flow bottle full the only bit I could see that was different was the thing in the photo had shot the bolt out.
And servo was Qld M1 BP at yatlar.

Doesn't sound Fuel related at all Kind,
Sounds more like lack of water - and in a hurry too if you hadn't noticed it 20 Klms before.
Looks like you may have had a sender that has broke, or even just a bolt that has fallen out. Not sure why that piece is even in the hose if it wasn't being used for a sensor of some sort.
Hopefully you have shut it down before any damage occurred.

Hey after I got it towed I put some water it started it cause I had to park it and it was running really rough and I had no power steering so I really have no idea
-
Not good mate, starting to sound like a head gasket if it's running rough.
-
Yeah guess so the only real reason the fuel came up was cause the water in filter light came on and then not long after pop
-
if theres water in the filter I would suggest bad fuel no matter what else has happened if you have comprehensive insurance you will be covered but get the fuel tested written up by a reputable mechanic as some companies want a sample hopefully you also have the receipt or paid by card.to get the fuel company to pay your excess.

Yeah only have 3rd party on this one but once I get a report if it says come back with water im just gonna go after BP direct
