Had to give up on the VMC, machine price was great, but moving cost are too high to bear.
Sacrificed a few cars to try to do this, just another thousand needed.
Can you poke a tube down to the bottom of the tank and draw some fluid from the bottom, which will be mainly water without having to drain the tanks?
A. Much easier to drain the tanks through the drain plug, just jack the back up, which gets all the water to run to the front where the drain plug is located. That way, all the water comes out.
That way you could try isolating both tanks. You could possibly leave them empty and hose down the car and see if any water gets into one of the tanks?
A. I will remove the filler tops and the rubber hose connector to the tanks, and introduce resin to fill the tops of the tanks completely, through the 3" hole in the bodywork.
Could the water be going round the seal round the filler neck in the bodywork, and getting inside the rubber hose from the filler neck to the tank from the top?
A. The hose connector is new and a tight fit, so no water can be getting into the tanks through the filler necks and caps. It must be getting in through the tank tops
