The fuel system might be supplying too much or too little fuel to the mix, meaning that combustion does not occur properly. There might be an impurity in the fuel (like water in your gas tank) that prevents the fuel from burning. Lack of compression: If the charge of air and fuel cann...
In all these cases,it is necessary to remove the bad fuel from the tank. Not only because the vehicle will not operate as it should, but also because bad gasoline can cause damage to the internal engine components as well as produce a gummy residue that could create blockages in the fuel...
There are three essential elements involved in producing fire: heat, oxygen and fuel. To put a fire out, you need to effectively remove one of these elements. The best way to remove heat is to dump water on the fire. This cools the fuel to below the ignition point, interrupting the com...
