Does water in the fuel tank affect the engine?

[JustinDella]

Yes, water in the fuel tank can affect the engine in the following ways: 1. Stalling: Water in the fuel tank can cause frequent stalling of the car. Due to the presence of water, the tank may rust, corrode, or deteriorate. If there is water in the fuel system, it can lead to reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, vehicle shaking, and difficulty starting in winter. Symptoms of water in the fuel tank include difficulty starting, engine backfire, high idle speed, or insufficient power. 2. Solution: If water accidentally enters the fuel tank, the owner should stay calm, analyze the cause and extent of the water ingress. If the issue is minor, it can be resolved independently; if severe, professional repair at a specialized auto shop is recommended for better assurance. Since the fuel tank is the source of the car's power, any problems with it can make the car difficult to operate.
