Default Re: any ideas???URGANT

what is the most common contaminent in fuel? only ask as had another look at the wifes car,removed the fuel bump and put my hand into the tank where the pump sits and there was some crud in there, i got the magnet out and ran it along the bottom of the tank but only picked up from the sectioned off part the pump sits in. it seemed to be rusting metal flakes. i relaced the fuel filter at the rear wheel and it had brown fuel in it. Just wondering where this would have come from as the tanks are all plastic. im guessin that when the car is runnin the stuff gets sucked onto the sock filter and cloggs it and falls back to the bottom when you turn the car off, was a fair bit about a open hand full.
