You may not be getting any fuel to turn over engine. Once you know fuel pump is good. The next thing May be possible clogged fuel rails and injectors. There are Automotive Repair Shops that do this kind of fuel rails cleaning. These Shops will narrow down the problem and repair your vehicle accordingly. I hope this helps in your diagnostic process. Sorry forgot to mention gas tank may be contaminated and may need to be pulled out for further diagnostic and or thorough cleaning.
After filling with gas my van misses badly after the engine has warmed up. Have put additives in gas tank, injector cleaner, replaced fuel pump, filter, computer and spark plugs. F ….. Instrument Cluster dries out, turns off the gauges with lighting, camera, and radio…. This is another cluster I purchased on eBay. When I remove the cluster, and pull out the main harness and replug, the radio, camera works fines…but when I replug back the IC, starts acting up, turning all types of symbols, lights, and goes out.
Any recommendations.. I have maruti suzuki Zen petrol , it has problem of black smoke and water particles in exhaust pipe. Hi Rakesh, since we are not able to assess it in person, we suggest taking it to a professional mechanic. A friend brought me 3 gallons of gas when I ran out.
I put most in tank then used a funnel at the end to get the last out. At that time I noticed gas was a white milky color!! Hello,it sounds like there may be some contamination. Since we are not able to assess the vehicle in person we suggest having it looked at by a trusted professional mechanic. I have a ford f When I put gas in my truck. About 20 minutes later it started to jerk when I stop at a red light. What should. Hi Calvin. Since we are unable to assess your car in person, we suggest taking it to your trusted professional mechanic.
Stick with your FORD…. Makes sense right? Come on people. Jared was making fun of all the people asking you guys to diagnose their car over the internet. Does HEET mobilize the water so it can be run through the fuel system or is it somehow converted into something combustible? Hi Ian, we always try to help anyone who has a question the best that we can!
HEET will break away water particles for easier combustion. Hi, i recently had gas that rain water get to it before I did and put it in my Ford Focus , but thankfully did NOT start my engine before I was able to be warned. BUT, there are just too many choices. Here also is the kicker. The gasoline was stored in 50 gal. Well, the 10 gallons that was split between me and a friend of mine and I got the 1st 5 gallons and he got the last half.
However, he drove 1st and I still have not. Thanks so much, from Sunny California only rainy once in a while.
Because water is typically heavier than gas, it will drop to the bottom phase separation. This means the bottom fuel would be the most affected. Of course, if the fuel is shaken or stirred, then all fuel would be contaminated. If the fuel was taken from the bottom syphoned or drained , then the friend might have gotten the most water. In either case, I would rather recommend not using this fuel and if it must be used, use a water remover such as ISO-HEET and dilute with fresh fuel as much as possible.
My car has been sitting for about a year now due to being totaled. I was occasionally starting it to keep everything moving engine-wise, but stopped for a few months because I had to cannibalize the AC compressor; that belt also ran the water pump.
Once I attained a belt that would allow me to run the car minus the compressor, it ran fine for a while during the next startup, but then died after about 10 minutes. Could this be water in the tank from condensation? I live in Phoenix where the temps wildly fluctuate through the winter months. While this issue could be caused by water in the fuel, this seems like it could also be mechanical failure in nature, or due to bad fuel —depending on how old the fuel is.
I owned a corvette that i bought on ebay. From the very first day i had the car it would stall out after awile. Hi, Robert. It seems that you may have already done all that you could, based on the previously diagnosed water issue. If the problem persists, then perhaps the next best option is to have a mechanic look further into it. Any idea what this might be? I can fill the tank, but it takes forever. Hi Patri, since we are unable to assess your car in-person we would suggest taking it to a professional mechanic.
I had just filled my gas tank with premium gas. I decided to get my car washed and when I drove out of the car was, I noticed that I had left the cap hanging and the flap open. I do not know how much water was able to get in my tank. I drove my car home without a problem. Please help!! Also, make sure that you get rid of most of the suspect fuel and start fresh again. Same thing happened to me. After filling my car and as I was checking my receipt if car wash was included in it I forgot to close my gas tank.
As I parked my car after the car wash to inspect it I noticed the cap was left hanging. Check engine light is on Nissan Altima. Code is P fuel temperature sensor.
This what I found What are the symptoms of the P code? Sensors could malfunction if excessive additives in the fuel cause erratic sensor readings and cause the fuel to boil off at lower temperatures. So am not sure if there is water in the tank. I brought Heet but not aure if I ahould use it or rplace the fuel pump again.
Hi Mera, since we are not able to assess your car in person, we would suggest taking it to a trusted professional mechanic. A recent report by CheapCarInsurance. The study looked primarily at violations that occurred in in North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. Water leaking into gas accounted for the most violations in Georgia, at In Florida, nearly one-third of pumps pumped too slowly, and more than 1 in 10 stations failed inspections.
The fact that these three states are the only ones highlighted in the report does not mean that gas station violations are exclusive to them, nor does it indicate these states have the highest amount of violations; in fact, these states were selected because they had the best data available on the matter. While each state has its own data sets, along with its own laws and regulations, every state must abide by the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants NESHAP , and typically stations are inspected at minimum on an annual basis.
Water might get on the piston top, thereby preventing you from cranking the motors and starting it. Gas—especially when they pass their day shelf-life—can lead to phase separation.
Phase separation is when water separates from gasoline. The main lesson here is not to let your fuel go idle for an extended time—around two months or more. You might notice that you fill up your gas tank far more than you used to. This is because water dilutes gas, and when exposed to heat, can evaporate, leaving less fuel than you intended to be. Oftentimes, the two most common problems you might encounter when water gets mixed with gasoline would be water fouling or water separation.
And the best way to get rid of them is to have them serviced by a credible mechanic. Taking a risk by doing it yourself might lead to more problems—and expenses—so play it safe and invest in having it fixed by professionals. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday announced a deal to bring Covid vaccines into conflict zones, where paltry numbers of people have been inoculated.
Heavy rains on Sri Lanka's coast and in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu have killed at least 25 people, destroyed thousands of homes and snarled traffic, authorities said. In Sri Lanka, 20 people have died in recent days, most from drowning, while five were hurt in landslides, officials said on Wednesday.
Adam Ma Chun-man returned before the District Court on Thursday, two weeks after he was convicted by a judge hand-picked by city leader Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor to oversee proceedings stemming from the Beijing-imposed legislation. The year-old had called himself a. If the quantity of water inside the fuel tank is on the higher side, then it can be a difficult problem to handle. Such a scenario can lead to multiple issues related to the engine, lubrication, and rusting.
And there are multiple ways concerning how to get water out of the fuel tank. Usually, one notices such an issue when the vehicles start facing ignition problems, sudden halts, etc. However, before finding the optimal solution, you need to find out the extent of water present in the fuel tank. You can change the fuel filter, add additives to the fuel tank, or drain the fuel tank to clean it.
But all this requires expertise. Speak to a trusted mechanic and make an informed choice regarding the solution. If you are well versed with vehicles, cautiously perform the actions and choose the solution based on the quantity of water in the fuel tank.
If you want to play an active role in checking the water presence, you can try out the following methods. Check fuel colour — The colour of the fuel will look darker if there is the presence of water.
Check smell — Water in the fuel tank can emit a foul smell. Check microbe — Water presence can lead to microbial growth. Use Water-finding paste — Use a dip-stick laced with water-finding paste and detect the water in the fuel tank of a car or bike. It does not matter if the water is in the fuel tank of your car or bike, it can be damaging to any vehicle. After all, it is a foreign substance in a machine that is designed to function with clockwork precision.
The entry of a foreign entity can disrupt the mechanisms of the engine and supporting systems leading to severe issues. Water in the fuel tank can be a trigger point for rust to occur on the inside. Water and fuel will not mix. If that water stays at the bottom for a long time, it will lead to rusting. And if the fuel tank has any ridges or edges, the rusting process will happen more quickly.
Nowadays, vehicles come with an injector. Earlier, they used to be fitted with a carburettor. Modern-day injectors facilitate the flow of fuel into the combustion chamber. Here, the presence of water complicates things. As water is dense, it is not sprayed as efficiently as fuel by the injector through its pores.
