Water is heavier than gasoline and the pick up tube is located at the lowest point in the fuel tank so, to stall a car and cause it not to restart, I would guess several ounces would be enough once the water has been pumped up to the engine.
Answer2:It really depends on where the water is. Water outside the car won't stall it until it reaches the air inlet. At that point, a single drop touching an airflow metering sensor can be enough. Absent an airflow metering sensor, it would take a lot of water to block an air filter.Inside an engine's combustion chamber, it can take only teaspoons to stop the engine turning or cause the engine to physically break.
In a fuel line, sufficient water to be insoluble (typically about 2%) or so will do the trick, alcohol fuels excluded. Some alcohol fueled vehicles can tolerate (but not happily) more than 15% water in the fuel.

Dodge charger stalling 2007?
Does it stall at idle, just after you start up? Does it stall when you give it gas - or take your foot off of the gas? Does it stall at stoplights, stopsigns, etc? Does it stall when the engine is hot or cold or warm? I would love to try and help, but you've gotta give me something to work off of!
