Water in the fuel or inside the engine can also cause spark plug fouling. Remove the fouled spark plugs and install clean, dry plugs. Fouled plugs may be cleaned with electrical contact cleaner (P/N K61080-001B). Wet plugs may be cleaned with a penetrating rust inhibitor, such as WD40 or Bel-Ray 6 in 1.
