← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when dissolved water contaminates gasoline?
A)Fuel pump experiences vapor lock✓
B)Engine knock risk greatly increases
C)Catalytic converter efficiency improves
D)Complete combustion becomes more efficient
💡 Explanation
Vapor lock occurs because water contamination lowers gasoline's vapor pressure, leading to premature vaporization in the fuel pump's low-pressure zone; therefore, vapor bubbles impede fuel delivery, rather than improving combustion or catalytic converter performance.
