What’s wrong
Two concerns. 1. If corrosive liquids enters the ignition switch it can cause the terminals inside to corrode. This can result in either the engine still running after the key has been taken out or a disconnection of the power supply allowing the engine to cut out. 2. A wiring loom may abrade on the underside of the fuel tank which can lead to rough running and eventually the engine will cut out.
