Here are the methods to solve water in a car fuel tank: 1. If there is a small amount of water in the fuel tank and the engine can start and run normally, the owner can add some fuel additives such as fuel tank water remover or fuel system cleaner to help the engine burn better. 2. If there is excessive water, sedimentation can be used first to let some water settle out. The next day, drain some fuel, then remove and clean the spark plugs. Open the engine hood and let the spark plugs and engine dry in the sun for a while. 3. If the owner finds a significant amount of water in the fuel tank, it is recommended to tow the car to a professional maintenance shop to clean the fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors, and then replace the fuel filter.

Is it suitable to drive a sedan in Gannan?

Gannan is suitable for driving a sedan, as the road conditions there are generally good, and a regular sedan is perfectly adequate. Here are some precautions for self-driving tours: Maintain good driving condition: Long-distance drivers must maintain good physical and mental condition, ensuring sufficient sleep before driving. Wear seat belts: Not only the driver and front-seat passengers but also rear-seat passengers need to fasten their seat belts. If there are children under twelve years old in the family, it is recommended to purchase a child safety seat produced by a reputable manufacturer. Driving in rain or snow: Turn on the fog lights and width lights and drive slowly. Avoid overtaking casually in severe weather, gently press the accelerator and brakes, and steer slowly. When overtaking, use the horn and headlights to signal, and only overtake when the vehicle ahead yields the way. Be extra cautious in shaded and damp areas such as under overpasses and tunnel entrances, as they are prone to icing, and reduce speed accordingly.
