Replace your fuel filter,your sparkplugs are not as bad as they seem you just remove everything that you see thats in your way to replace them.

Coolant Sensor

I had this EXACT same problem in the winter. What caused it was a bad coolant sensor. This can be purchased from most any Car shop.

I'm really pressed for time at the moment, but if anyone else here more knowledgable then myself agrees with me, could you give him the link to when I had those problems so he can learn where the part is, what the part is, how to remove it. ect ect ect...

Building with water.

Mark

Running with a low tank all the time, condensation from the tank sides can accumulate or build as you say.

However, it is really, really unlikely that you had 2 litres of condensation in your tank. It is far more likely that you got this water from a petrol station, it's lying at the bottom of their tank.

If, like me, you get your petrol in the one station all the time, go in and tell them about your water-in-the-fuel problem. Most likely it came from them. They are supposed to dip the tanks all the time with a special dye coloured rod. Water in the bottom of the tank shows up as a colour. If it's beyond the pick-up level, they are supposed to pump it out. They may not be aware they have a problem that's causing you problems.

Also don't forget to change the element in your fuel filter.
