      November 17, 2018 at 10:33 am I recently got some bad fuel and the racor water separator apparently worked as intended and shut down the fuel flow on the stbd engine. Once the water was purged, the engine was restarted. However, it had noticeable vibration at 2200 rpms that didnā€™t exist before. Little to no vibration at 1100 rpms. The port engine was unaffected. Twin 6CTA 450ā€™s. Could water have damaged the injectors?

      November 17, 2018 at 12:41 pm Tony, thank you very much for the insight. I will definitely install primary bulk seperators as suggested. I have not cut the last chance filter yet but will do so. I assume the water came from recent fueling as the racors showed no water the day before the incident when I last took on fuel. What would u expect to be the likely cause of the vibration, assuming it is related to the water?
