I believe the water causes condensation in the gas,and could cause a problem with stalling. Provided it is an older model car.
What happens when chicken bone gets stuck in gas tank
it goes bo bo ba booom
What will happen if water gets inside gas tank
remove the fuel tank and drain the water
The water will settle to the bottom of the tank. The fuel pump is located on the bottom of the tank which means it will be picked up first and sent to the injectors. Water will not burn so the car will not start or will but run rough and die. You can by a gas drier or pay less and go to the drugstore and buy some alcohol.
depends on how much water if its alot you can do one of two things drain the tank or add alot of dry gas more water more dry gas
This is BAD. You must not try to run the car, if the bleach gets into the engine then it will cause serious damage. Yo will have to have the gas tank replaced.
The water gets heated up and turns into a gas
possibly air in the gas tank. this happens sometimes if you keep pumping a little at a time, trying to get to an exact amount. It could also be water in the gas tank. this happens in cold weather sometimes. you can buy a bottle of drygas or something similar at a gas station. it only costs a few bucks and gets the water out. it could also be some kind of debris in the gas tank.
water can be pumped in from a leaking underground tank at a gas station or if you leave your gas tank only partially full and the temperature shanges it can cause condensation inside your tank
The water sinks to the bottom. If your pick-up in near the bottom your engine will quit. You will need to drain the tank.
The engine may not start and/or have poor performance. Drain gas tank and fill with proper fuel.
