SYMPTOMS OF WATER IN YOUR GAS TANK


It is pretty clear that water in fuel is a significant problem.


It is critical to determine whether water has entered your gas tank


There are certain symptoms that will help you identify the problem.


Here are the symptoms of water in your gas tank.


PERFORMANCE ISSUES

The first sign you will notice is the car hesitating when you accelerate.


The more you step on the accelerator pedal, the more noticeable it will be.


The presence of water in the fuel is tricking the MAF sensor which causes this issue.


This creates a problem with the air/fuel mixture resulting in a “lean� condition.


STARTING PROBLEM

When accelerating your engine requires a rich air/fuel ratio.


This causes a water and fuel mixture to be more apparent.


If the spark plugs are unable to get enough fuel, then they can’t ignite.


This makes it clear that there is much water in the fuel & the car won’t start.


WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST

As water is entering the combustion chamber, it will evaporate & cause steam.


This will appear in the form of a good amount of white smoke from your exhaust.


You shouldn’t confuse it with the white smoke when you start your car.


Moreover, the check engine light will also illuminate in your car.


CONCLUSION

You can use additives to remove water from the fuel.


However, it is better to take your car to a certified mechanic to remove water.
