Paper does not dissolve in petrol. If paper has fallen into the petrol tank of your KTM Duke motorcycle, it is important to address the situation and clean the tank as soon as possible. Leaving paper or any foreign objects in the petrol tank can potentially cause problems and affect the performance of your motorcycle.
Here are a few reasons why it is necessary to clean the tank:
Fuel flow obstruction: The paper can obstruct the fuel flow, leading to issues such as reduced fuel supply, engine misfires, or stalling.
Clogging fuel filters: If the paper reaches the fuel filter, it can clog the filter, restricting the flow of petrol and potentially causing damage to the fuel system.
Contamination: The presence of foreign material in the petrol tank can contaminate the fuel, affecting the combustion process and potentially damaging the engine or fuel injectors.
To resolve the issue, it is recommended to have the petrol tank cleaned thoroughly by a professional mechanic or a trained technician. They will be able to safely drain the fuel tank, remove any foreign objects, and clean it properly to ensure optimal performance and prevent any potential damage to your KTM Duke motorcycle.
