update
Well, I had to work all day Sunday and Monday.. never got a call from the local dealership, will have to call them back.. but here is the response I got from the Kit Carnauba Car Wash People.
After consulting with our formulation chemist regarding your situation, the
following was concluded.
The wash itself is basically a mix of a blend of anionic surfactants and
water. The the water will want to sink or settle in a petroleum environment
but he doesn't think there will be an issue or concern for foaming. The
anionic surfactants will not be happy in the petroleum matrix at all as far
as generating foam and the viscosity of the wash will not have much of an
effect on anything either.
If such a small amount of car wash was added, it should be a semi-easy fix.
He suggests having
the tank drained, followed by a fuel treatment that should eliminate any
water in the line. Products such as this are available for regular
combustion engines as well as diesel engines.
Again, our chemist is not an expert in the area of surfactants meeting
petroleums, but he really doesn't think the surfactants are a significant
concern. But, the water in the line could cause the engine to miss, and
should be eliminated as much as possible, as soon as possible.
Thank you for contacting us and best of luck in correcting this issue.
Sincerely,
Kristin Hrudka
