Antifreeze in gas tank?

I doubt it. I think you have water in your tank because it's no way how antifreeze can go in your tank unless you puuted it there. So if you have water in your tank, just buy stuff which is called dry gas. And everytime when you fill your tank add required quantity. To get rid of water in your tank you will need to do that at least 3 times, it depends on how much of water you have.

What happens if water gets in your lawn mower gas tank?

Remove the Water from Gas Tank: Depending on how much water got into the tank you can use a product like HEET that is sold in the automotive section of most stores that helps remove water from fuel. If there was a large amount of water the best way to remove it is to unhook the gas line where it goes into the engine and let it drain out. I would suggest putting a additive like HEET in with the gas after you do this to help get rid of any left over water. A newer additive, Dave Liles Ethanol Fuel additive is an ethanol prodcut that might be better at absobing water than an isopropyl alcohol product like HEET. The Liles Ethonal is at Lowe's and other places. Depending on your location, some States sell reformulated gas which contains up to 10% ethanol. Using an alcohol based additive will increase the alcohol content and could damage your engine. It is best to drain the tank and refill with fresh gas, preferably treated with a fuel stabilizer, such as a Briggs brand.

Will stp clean out water in a gas tank?

Stp does not really do enough to clean water out of a gastank, despite what you have been told. If you have water in the tank, you have a problem already. I don't rec. doing this, but 1 way to rid yourself of the water in the tank as a temporary fix would be straight out of bullrun. put a hole in the bottom of the tank, and drive until the car shuts off from no fuel, then plug the hole and refill. not sure how well this would work.


What happen after Bad gas is put into a car?

Not enough info. Bad in what way? (1) If water contaminated and the amount of water was not too much, pour several cans of "dry-gas" into the tank and see if that helps clear it up. If it was a lot of water, the fuel tank must be drained. (2) If contaminated by sediment, it very possibly will clog the fuel filter and/or fuel pump, which may require their replacement and the tank will also have to be drained to get rid of the sediment at the bottom of the tank to prevent re-clogging. (3) If someone put sugar in your tank - the tank will have to be drained and the fuel system flushed and cleaned. Good luck.

How do you get rid of brown water in the bath?

The most usual cause for brown water in the bath is a growth of algae in your hot water tank; it could also be rust in the hot water tank. The simplest solution, although very expensive, is a new hot water tank. Personally, I would be willing to bathe in brownish water.
