Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct. Water is more likely to be drawn into the fuel system when the fuel level is low because the fuel pickup tube is closer to the bottom of the tank where water can accumulate. Technician A is incorrect because water actually sinks to the bottom of the tank, where it can cause corrosion and damage to the fuel system.
