Yes and no. You can't react two insolubles - once it has precipitated it will stop reacting. However is it possible to react two soluble compounds to get two precipitates? That's a good question, you can skip to the bottom for one such equation, but the full answer really gets into the guts of...

No but it will stop the vehicle from working and the fuel tank and lines will need to drained then flushed. This is not HSC examinable. :)

OK so there is a little bit going on here. NaCl(aq) + CaCO3(s) won't react at all. The equation you are talking about is probably CaCl2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq)--->CaCO3(s)+2 NaCl(aq) What is happening here is that the reactants are all aqueous, so they are all ions floating freely in solution, ie...
