Question

What happens if I add a 8oz of water to my gas tank before I fill up with gas.?

Answer 1

You're gonna mess up your engine and it's components if you start it. Have the tank emptied and cleaned by a professional.

Answer 2

The same thing will happen if you poured that water into your air intake.  Both the gas tank and the air intake lead their contents into the cylinder.

If the engine is running, your car may hydrolock.  Water doesn't compress well, so it can cause bent rods and other damage.

If your car isn't running, it might not be able to start if you have water in the cylinder.

If you're trying to save money, put less gas into your car...don't put something in it that it wasn't meant to run on.

Answer 3

if you start it you can say goodby to your motor and hello to a useless car

Answer 4

For one I dont see why you would do that other than possiblity of causing your car not to start there would be nothing good to doing that.

Answer 5

water in the gas tank eventually brings the vehicle to a sputtering stop.

Answer 6

I HOPE THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION,WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU ADD WATER TO THE GAS TANK,YOU THINK IT WAS THIRSTY? YOU WILL PROBABLY END UP CHANGEING THE FUEL FILTERS AND GET READY FOR IT TO RUN LIKE CRAPE FOR AWHILE.YOU MAY EVEN HAVE TO HAVE THE TANK DRAINED.WATER DONT MIX WITH GAS.

Answer 8

Your car will run just as though you had bought gas from a station which had a leaky storage tank. In other words, like cr@p. Gas engines do not like water in the fuel, regardless of the scam ads you read on the internet.

Answer 9

Yahoo your pushing it!!!
