car stalled afer pump petrol

[explosive orange]

Hi bros out there...

 

yesterday i had a freak incident.

 

went to pump petrol at SPC (98) and upon driving out, the car jerked and in "spasm" after moving on for a short distance. After a while, it stalled. Tried to crank but failed. After a short while, it managed to crank up and move but still jerking. Luckily my home is not too far away and managed to reach home.

 

called my SE whats wrong with my new car (3 weeks old) and he told me suspected water in petrol and caused misfired thus the jerking. Told me to rest the car for 10-15min and tried to crank up again. If sounds and feels ok, drive out and rev the car hard for a while (probably to "dry up" any water presence?). Now the car seems fine.

 

Wanted to find out from any bros out there if u have similar incident.

 

If the SE diagnosis is right, will the water damage the engine in this instance? I reckon it may not be alot of water.. probably a few drops?

 

Hope to hear some advice and/or experience from other bros.

 

thanks and cheers

Which SPC station ? Check with the rest of brothers using the same station, or go MCF to check if anyone else got same problems.

I had same experience, 2 years back like that. same, new unit bought frm cnc. after 2 yrs or so. exactly the same experience as u.

 

but, my worse, I was at Malaysia, after pump petrol, went for car wash before heading  back, I had the similar experience upon reaching car wash...

 

I was thinking, die liao die liao... lol..

 

eventually everything works as normal thereafter... I never did anything after that too...

I didn't even bother to ask cnc, nor the SE.

 

I think they also won't have a answer to it..
