I had a car that sat for a few months while I was working away. It started and drove but stopped after a little while. I ended up disconnecting a fuel line and I got the same stuff you did, almost all water. I ran the fuel pump till the water was gone and just fuel came out and reconnected and the car ran again. It seems like ethanol in the fuel had absorbed water during the warmer months and then when the car sat for a few months in colder weather the water came out of the ethanol and sank to the bottom of the tank and then got picked up when I drove it. I only drained about a pint of water but that was enough to have stopped the car running. It would had been interesting to see if you could have run the fuel pump a bit longer to see if that water was just a small amount that had settled in the tank. You might have got the car running again on the video.

Looks like ethanol phase separation, not sure how that would have happened from having it painted, it can happen when water gets into ethanol gas though. Also, I loved the cats 😂

I think this video covers a subject matter that is considerable and that is consumer protection. If a vehicle is looked at by a mechanic and that mechanic finds something like this it Should be added to the vehicles carfax so that the consumer knows what they are buying. In order to prevent the dealers from selling overpriced garbage to the consumer without them knowing. I was happy to see that your diag was also my first suspicion after going through the pids and cranking tests. Great video

I bet it sat for at least a month, probably more. During that time the ethanol fuel separated. Does the same thing in small engines like lawn equipment. The new fuel isn't designed to sit for months.

@mikechiodetti448211 ай бұрын
If you had the old OTC 7000 flush system, you could have seen the engine run without the fuel tank being connected. That actually worked when a vehicle had a bad fuel pump and you needed to get it in the shop. That stuff you showed us didn't even look like fuel. Oh well. Cats seemed happy with you there. Either that or their hungry and smelled food. Good video.

Thats what ethanol gas does when it sits for a long time, all that corn turns into water and that's why you have water in the fuel especially since the fuel can't evaporate out of the fuel tank, an old car that don't have a evap system and a carburetor the ethanol gas evaporates out of the float bowls of the carb and the gas tank if sitting for long periods of time

The idiots who did the paint work appear to have been working on the vehicle with the windows open...lots of dirt on the instrument cluster and steering column. Under the hood too. Likely they had a 5 gallon paint bucket of "shop gasoline" all contaminated to use when cars come in with a very low tank.
