The tank should be drained and cleaned. The fuel filter needs to be changed, and the injectors might have to be cleaned.

If I were you I would just replace the fuel filter if it is cloged.


Do you need to replace the fuel pump if you have water in your gas tank?

No. Drain the fuel tank and add a product such as Heet that will remove the left over moisture. If there is just a small amount of water, fill the tank with fresh fuel and add Heet.


Does Methyl hydrate work like gas line antifreeze or is is the same product?

Methyl hydrate is commonly known as methyl alcohol, methanol, or wood alcohol. Its molecular formula is CH3OH. .for more information: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_hydrate .. Methyl hydrate or methanol is commonly used as a gas line antifreeze. Since methanol and water are completely miscible that is they will dissolve in each other completely, methanol lowers the freezing point of any water in the bottom of the engine fuel system. .. Also since methanol will dissolve in gasoline fuel, it keeps any water in the fuel in a dissolved state. In other words you won't have a ice blockage in your fule line, tank bottom, or fuel filter. .. Since many gasolines contain ethanol, they already have antifreeze protection. .. Methanol has been used as a racing fuel and as a gasoline fuel additive. It has the property of reducing engine knocking (raising the octane level).


What is chemical composition of gas line antifireez?

Gas line antifreeze typically contains a mixture of components, primarily methanol or ethanol, which act as antifreeze agents to prevent fuel line freeze-up in cold temperatures. It may also include other additives for corrosion inhibition and improved fuel stability. The specific formulation can vary by manufacturer, so it's important to check product labels for precise chemical compositions. Always use antifreeze products specifically designed for gas lines to ensure safety and effectiveness.


Why does your cummins 350 have antifreeze in fuel tank?

Antifreeze in the fuel tank of a Cummins 350 can indicate a serious issue, such as a compromised head gasket or a cracked engine block, which allows coolant to leak into the fuel system. Another possibility is contamination during maintenance or fuel storage, where antifreeze mistakenly mixed with the fuel. It's essential to address this problem promptly, as it can lead to significant engine damage and performance issues. A thorough inspection and repair by a qualified mechanic is recommended to resolve the situation.

What happens if you put antifreeze in a gas tank?

The first, and most likely result will be that the engine won't run any farther than the fuel in the lines will carry it, antifreeze will not burn so once it hits the injectors the engine will stop. In the tank it will pool at the bottom as it is denser than the fuel and will be the only thing the fuel pump will pick up. The problem is that you will then need to clean the entire fuel system. If you did not start the car, you need to remove the tank and drain everything out of it. Wash it inside with gas. Reinstall the tank, add couple bottles of dry gas, fill up the tank. Start the car. You might have to use dry gas more than once, if there is any moisture trapped within the tank (drying will not work because antifreeze takes forever to evaporate).
