A while back I had the misfortune of having someone who thought that they were going to have a bit of fun, with my Land Cruiser, only to be caught dumping water into the fuel tank. After calling Gold Eagle, the makers of Heet and Iso Heet ( for Diesel ), and talking to one of the technicians, they said that 12 bottles of Iso Heet for every gallon of water should take care of the problem. After checking the cost of Iso Heet, and talking to my mechanic, I found than it would be more cost effective for the mechanic to take care of the problem, than to buy 2.5 gal of Iso Heet for aprox 2 Gal of water in the fuel tank.
Right now I'm cleaning the fuel system, but once I'm done you can bet that I'm going to try some experiments with Isopropanol and water. and if they work then I'll move on to trying it in the fuel.
