Someone poured paint into my cars gas tank Sign In

I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring convertible LXI. An angry ex poured paint in to my gas tank. What do I need to do to remedy this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Get all the fuel out ASAP and replace the filter. You will likely have to remove the tank to get it cleaned out properly.

Yeah, do what Hammer suggested and hopefully you didn't start your engine. Same thing happened to a buddy of mine except he got salt in his tank, he got his insurance company to cover the repair, so if you have full coverage you may want to talk to them see what they can do. Good luck.
