Came into my daughters bay at Porsche.

Is the water-to-fuel ratio off coming from the fuel pump?

"off coming from the fuel pump?" Not sure I've ever seen that word combo before: not sure what the question is. From where was the fuel coming off?

Also, neither of the liquids in the beaker look like any street pump octane fuel to me.

No, looks about right.
Another one of those “secret, one off” carburetors that will run on 90% water.
I’ll bet the manufacturer will want that back.
Another damn conspiracy.

Sorry, looked again and it’s only 5% gas.
Add a couple of gallons of premium to the tank and it will be just fine.

We just got done fixing a client's 928 with water in the fuel. Seems his girlfriend's "X" isn't as happy as he could be...

I've seen an ethanol/water phase separation do that when running E10 - E15. Especially in the winter time.

You sure that's just water on the bottom and not that combo ethanol/water?

You win! This was an "EX Boyfriend Upgrade" of a lady's brand new Boxster

Thats exactly what happened here.

PS: "words in odd orders..."

Thats part of the "new me" the doctors warned me about...if I don't proofread something types a minute or two later, happens. And when I get odd looks at work in a meeting...I know it did it then too.

I blame it on a keyboard that can't spell. No reason to believe it doesn't extend to grammar andspeech patterns. Foreign keyboards sometimes have a touger time adapting to 'murrican "english".

There are days..where Ill fix the same word on the phone like 3 times, every other word.

I get up, leave the desk..and go stare at a coffee.

The most fun I have nowdays, is my right side cant handle one drink, left side's just fine.

"I fixed it three times and it's still wrong!" I know that too well.

"I can't remember half the stuff I've forgotten!" I live this, I think...

The keyboard spelling issue is more than frustrating, because it seems to be contagious. I'm a known carrier.
