Water Contamination in Your Fuel Tank

Water contamination in your vehicle’s fuel tank can lead to various issues, including engine misfires, reduced performance, and potential damage to engine components. Here’s what you should do if you suspect water contamination in your tank:

    1. Recognize the Signs: Symptoms of water contamination include rough idling, difficulty starting the engine, hesitation or stalling while driving, and a decrease in fuel efficiency. If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to address the issue promptly.
    2. Stop Driving: If you suspect water contamination, stop driving your vehicle immediately. Continuing to drive could exacerbate the problem and cause further damage to your engine.

    6. Fuel System Flush: To ensure that all traces of water are removed from your vehicle’s fuel system, we may perform a fuel system flush. This process helps clean out any remaining contaminants and prevent future issues.
    7. Preventive Measures: To prevent water contamination in the future, be cautious when refueling and avoid filling up at stations with visibly damaged or poorly maintained pumps. Additionally, consider using fuel additives designed to remove water from the fuel system.
