Water In Fuel Tank Causing Fuel Pump Damage?
Firstly, when I looked you up to ask you the following question, I sincerely didn’t expect to get an auto insurance ad.I did the darn thing tho’ and, after I do a thorough check of their customer’s satisfaction thru the normal avenues, I think I might actually switch to Encompass. I think I might save about $1100 a year and maybe more when my daughter gets her permit because they don’t charge for permitted drivers; they just need to know they are driving! Trust me, this is a phenomenon I’ve never seen and I’ve been with 3 insurance companies over the last 27 years and checked into I don’t know how many others. Obviously, I bookmarked a lot of pages to show my wife. Anyway, onto my question, which I can honestly say, I’m not sure has been addressed in much depth. I have spent……….. I don’t know, I would guess 12 to 15 hours researching before I finally gave up. The problem I have is that, for reasons I need not go into here, the level of our company’s delivery van’s gasoline tank say that 3 times in a row real fast is kept low at all times. In the last 4 years I have been here, the engine, when extremely low on gas starts to rattle and doesn’t stop until we fork over several hundreds of dollars each time to a mechanic.The fact that the check engine light and rattling begins when the fuel is either out or all but out, leads me to think that there is water in the tank due to all the reasons that water gets into tanks, blah, blah, blah.

The problem I am having is a loud squealing noise when the engine turns over and while the AC is in use. However , recently the noise continues even while the AC is not in use.

Why Does My Car Battery Drain Down Over Night
My wife drives a 1991 Honda Accord. Great little car. Still runs great. It has one serious problem which it has had for several years now. The battery rapidly drains when the car sits for a couple of days. I replaced the alternator and battery each more than once to no avail. I used an amp meter to check drains on various cables while removing fuses and relays, one at a time.
