Sorry man, I appreciate the input but that makes zero sense for this problem. Unless someone dumped water in, which they didn’t cause it’s locked

My car ran wacky as he**. Wouldn't idle for ship, but once it got hotter no problem. I took it to my mechanic straight away and he drained the fuel. It wasn't gasoline. Best guess, pure ethanol. I had a receipt from the station showing i pumped the right fuel. I went after the gas station for repairs, and they begrudgingly did with gift cards to their gas station (real classy). Should have went after them for an engine. found out later it scorched the injectors and created a few other internal issues. I ended up just selling the car and moving to south east Asia. Life altering tank of gas right there.
Case and point, even its a busy station you've been to a hundred times, ship happens.
Holy crap, that’s pretty darn crazy! Life huh?

I'm suggesting there could be water in the tanks at the filling station, not that someone popped open the tank on your bike. It happened to a car I once owned (bent valves and connecting rods). I think the carbon build-up is likely unrelated, but I'm certainly no mechanic. Good luck.
