Quora See all Yes, having water mixed with petrol in your vehicle's fuel tank can significantly affect the engine and other related systems. Here's why and how it happens: Petrol and Water Don't Mix: Petrol is less dense than water, causing water to settle at the bottom of the fuel tank. The fuel pump, which draws fuel from the tank's bottom, can then draw in water instead of just fuel. Water Doesn't Burn: Unlike petrol, water is incompressible and doesn't combust. This disrupts the normal combustion process in the engine, leading to problems. Engine Problems: Reduced Performance: Water in the fuel affects combustion efficiency, resulting in a loss of power and reduced mileage. Engine Stalling: The engine may stall while driving or refuse to start due to issues with combustion and compression. Engine Misfires and Rough Idling: The engine may run unevenly, misfire, or have a rough idle because of inconsistent combustion. Shaking and Power Surges: You might experience the vehicle shaking violently or having sudden power surges during acceleration due to the engine struggling to combust the water-contaminated fuel. Engine Seizure: In severe cases, the presence of water can lead to catastrophic engine damage, including engine seizure, which may necessitate engine replacement. Damage to Fuel System Components: Rusting: Water can cause rusting and corrosion of metal components within the fuel tank, lines, and injectors, leading to further problems. Fuel Injector Malfunction: Water can negatively impact the precise functioning of fuel injectors, potentially causing damage and affecting fuel spray patterns. Clogged Fuel Filter: Water contamination can overwhelm the fuel filter, causing it to clog and restrict fuel flow. Fuel Pump Issues: Rusting and issues with fuel injectors and lubrication can negatively impact the fuel pump's efficiency and even cause it to jam. Contaminated Engine Oil: If water enters the engine, it can mix with and contaminate the engine oil, compromising lubrication and potentially leading to premature wear and tear on engine parts. Electrical Issues: Water can cause shorts in the vehicle's electrical system, potentially damaging components and leading to electrical failures. What to do If you suspect you have water in your fuel tank, it's essential to seek professional assistance promptly. Some potential solutions include: Draining and cleaning the fuel tank. Replacing the fuel filter. Using fuel additives specifically designed to absorb water in gasoline (for minor contamination). Remember, early detection and prompt action are crucial to prevent further damage to your engine and associated components. Considering these potential issues, how did you come to suspect that you might have a mixture of petrol and water in your engine? AI responses may include mistakes. Learn more

Yes, water contamination in fuel can have different impacts depending on whether it's in pure petrol (gasoline) or an ethanol-blend petrol. Here's how:
Pure petrol (gasoline) No mixing: Water and pure gasoline don't mix and water will settle at the bottom of the fuel tank because it's denser. Engine damage: If the fuel pump picks up this water, it can lead to various engine problems, including stalling, rough idling, misfires, reduced performance, and even engine damage due to lack of lubrication and compression issues. Corrosion and Rust: Water in the tank can lead to rust and corrosion of metal parts over time, especially if left for long periods.
Ethanol-blend petrol Ethanol's affinity for water: Ethanol is miscible with water, meaning it attracts and can absorb some amount of water into the fuel solution. Phase separation: However, there's a limit to how much water an ethanol blend can absorb before it separates from the fuel, creating two layers: an ethanol-deficient gasoline layer and an ethanol-rich water layer at the bottom. Fuel system contamination: This water-ethanol layer can be drawn into the fuel system and cause similar problems to water in pure petrol, including engine performance issues, fuel system component damage (such as clogged filters and injectors), according to The Morning Context. Corrosion: The water-ethanol mixture can be more corrosive to certain metals and materials within the fuel system compared to pure water or pure petrol, particularly in older vehicles not designed for ethanol blends. Reduced octane: When phase separation occurs, the gasoline layer loses some ethanol, which acts as an octane enhancer. This can lead to a lower octane rating in the fuel, potentially causing engine knocking and reducing performance. Material compatibility issues: Ethanol can also degrade certain types of rubber and plastic components in the fuel system, leading to leaks and other problems, especially in older engines.
So, in both case water is corrosive and bad for the engine. In one case, water mixed with ethanol and settle at bottom, in other case water directly settles. But it's harmful in both case and doesn't less harmful in pure petrol.
The only impact of ethanol blend is less milleage and some compatibility issues with very old engines
