Riding your bike in the rain can sometimes lead to water seeping into your petrol tank, causing several issues. Water in the fuel tank can affect engine performance and prevent the bike from starting. Here are some common problems and solutions:
Problems:
Engine Won't Start: Water mixed with petrol doesn’t ignite properly, leading to starting issues.
Engine Jerking or Stalling: Water in the tank can cause the engine to stall while running.
Water in the Fuel Line: Water in the fuel line can damage the engine if it reaches there.
What to Do If Water Gets in Your Bike's Tank:
Empty the Tank: First, completely empty the fuel tank to remove the contaminated petrol.
Check the Fuel Filter: Inspect the fuel filter, and replace it if necessary, to ensure no water remains.
Dry the Tank: Use a dry cloth or air blower to thoroughly dry the tank and ensure there is no moisture left inside.
Refill with Fresh Petrol: Once the tank is completely dry, refill it with fresh petrol, not the one you removed earlier.
Check Engine Oil: If water has entered the engine, inspect the engine oil. If water is present, replace the oil.
Engine Check: If the problem persists, take your bike to a service center for a mechanic to inspect and repair as needed.
Following these steps will help you keep your bike safe and running smoothly again. Stay safe on the roads!
