What Are the Symptoms of Water in the Fuel Tank?
1 Answers
Symptoms of water in the fuel tank depend on the amount of water ingress, with specific symptoms as follows: Shaking: When water is delivered to the cylinders, it affects gasoline combustion, leading to increased cylinder carbon deposits, engine backfiring, and shaking. In severe cases, it can cause the car to stall or fail to start. Insufficient Power: Incomplete gasoline combustion directly impacts the car's power, resulting in high idle speed, insufficient power, and weak acceleration. Damage to the Fuel System: Water in the fuel tank can cause rust in the tank and fuel lines, leading to blockages that affect fuel supply. In severe cases, it can also damage other mechanical components.
