We just got a little wet here,

Hate to see any rain delays on the last couple races. it might get in the fuel. ;-)

Well we know it sure wasn't rain in Atlanta!

My guess: Underground piping from the tank to the pump has a leak as well as a water line in close proximity. Both under the pavement allowing the pressure to build and water to seep in to the fuel line, which is not pressurized. Only thing left since the tanks tested OK and I really doubt if Sun Oil would deliver bad fuel to a Nascar race where they are sponsors. This would yield the first couple of tanks to be severely contaminated and those there after, not so much.

Great post!

I don’t think Jr. could smile any wider!!

Look’n forward to yer TMS thread.

I probably won’t have it up until tomorrow. Haven’t even started it yet.

Thanks on the pics.

Here’s why the Jr Nation is so happy to get out of DEI and on to HMS.

“I talked to him last night to check on him after his wreck and when I told Dale, ‘I’m going tomorrow — and he said, ‘you’re coming to the test?’ I said ‘yea, I want to get a picture of you inside the car,’” said Hendrick of the No. 5 Chevrolet that carried a color scheme similar to his first NASCAR Cup car in 1984. “I thought it was real neat that he wanted to paint it like the first car we ran. It’s a pretty neat deal. I’m really looking forward to it.

They said on INC the tanks have an alarm if anything seeps into them. DJ found the substance in his fuel and all RCR cars did as well. I bet we hear more today.

"Darby dismissed sabotage as a possible explanation, saying too many teams were affected for anyone to have been singled out."

SOooooooo they do think of things like that!

[vox_freedom]

That's the nicest and most genuine smile I've seen on Jr in years!!!
Great to see the boss-man next to him with such a happy face too.

[SouthTexas]

Naw, that was an old pic. We’re actually dry!

[SouthTexas]

The piping also doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the tank either. So thre would still be evidence of water in the bottom.

Another possibility is the pumps were actually sucking water through a break in the fuel line. Almost same song as above, but with a twist.

Hey dude, just in and out,(’bout normal these days) that comment prolly sounded smart ass last week but I was thinking that the hurricane might have contaminated their stg tanks.

they’d have found that before then though wouldn't’t they?

o Well.

see ya later.

[glock rocks]

I didn’t think it sounded smart ass. When did they have a hurricane around Atlanta?

[Pete-R-Bilt]

I went and loked I guess it was 05 not 06

nevermind, I’m a moron...
