Anyone ever see this happen? It is a new one for me. Customer said he changed tanks and his truck would not start. He said he thought there was water in the LP tank. I thought "yeah, right". I pulled the hose off the carb and sure enough it looked like water. Pulled the spark plugs and all were wet. I was thinking that maybe the Impco regulator had corroded enough to let the coolant get in to the fuel chamber. Then I checked the hose connector up by the tank and it sure looked like droplets of water. Took the tank and hose off, set it on the floor and opened the valve. Water came roaring out. Very wierd.
