What Happens When 500ml of Water is Added to a Car's Fuel Tank?
1 Answers
Adding 500ml of water to a car's fuel tank can cause engine stalling, leading to rust, aging, and corrosion in the tank. Moisture in the fuel system may result in reduced engine power, vehicle shaking, increased fuel consumption, and difficulties in engine starting, insufficient power, or high idle speed. If water is found in the fuel tank, it's essential to remove the moisture from the fuel as soon as possible. For minor water intrusion, car owners can add fuel additives such as fuel tank water removers or fuel system cleaners to improve combustion. In cases of significant water contamination, it's necessary to completely drain and clean the fuel tank and fuel pump assembly, then replace with fresh gasoline.
