103west43rd Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Since it happened after you added gas,bad tank of gas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejwhoa Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'd like to think that,but this would be the first time in my life it's ever happenend.I've gotten crap gas that was below the specified octane level before,thank god for it being an older hunk of crap car.so what drain the entire tank and fill it back up?my old man thought I had water in the tank,but how would I get 30 plus Miles of no trouble at all?wondering if the fuel pump is bad at this point,but it starts and idles fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Put a Bottle of Sea Foam Fuel treatment in the tank and take it out for a ride. If it is water then MDR WaterZorb or E Zorb will take the water out. Good luck and Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejwhoa Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 It's getting progressively better,I'll get some sea foam and I guess some injector cleaner too,and put some higher octane fuel in it as well once it drops further.haven't drove it much maybe 50 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The Sea foam is also a Injector cleaner, sounds like some water or the E10 had started to phase separate and you filled your tank at just the wrong time. Keep driving . Have a great Holiday. keep us in the loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
