Water in a gas tank can cause white smoke or steam to come out of the exhaust as it will mix with the gasoline during combustion. This can result in poor engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly. It is recommended to have the water drained from the gas tank and the fuel system flushed to prevent further issues.

Why does water turn to steam when its boils?

When water reaches its boiling point, the increased heat energy causes the water molecules to move faster and break free from the liquid state, turning into steam. This steam is water in the gaseous state due to the high temperature, allowing for the molecules to move more freely and independently.

white smoke does not always mean oil. Where is the smoke coming from. Sometimes small pin holes in the water system can cause a white smoke or steam which appears to be smoke. If the engine is at idle that would be the only time you could see that type of hole until it gets bigger. Check for any loss of water/antifreeze in the vehicle.
