Pooling Water....

Pooling Water....
I found some standing water while on my search for damaged wire insulation. Take a look on the driver side (LHD) of the fuel tank and look back in there. I had 2-3 Oz of water and some black crud...looks like it is a recurring situation. I called a fellow Rennlister and he also had water. Anyone else experience this?

May also be worth checking to see if all the drain tubes are in place ( 5 in total...2 hidden? ). Not sure how much water will actually get in if they are missing, but I guess some must if driving in the rain.

I used to get this on my last 964 until I changed the seal. Although the rubber itself wasn't in bad condition, it was not glued firmly into place. Of course you need to take everything out of the boot/trunk to see it, so it can easily build up over time.

That happens to me too when I wash the car. I think the trunk seal is not doing its job.
Hidden... standing pool(s) of water... could be common situation... undetected, yet theeeere.
(sometimes I really loath the info/reality packed into some of these threads)
