Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Mar 8, 2022, 4:22 PM Post #2 of 3 (755 views) Re: Bad gas Sign In Depends how much she drove it. Very first thing is the tank has to be completely drained dry and refilled with gas. The fuel filter has to be replaced. All this before the engine is even attempted to start. If she drove it until it died, things are going to be more difficult getting it running again. The injectors may have to be removed and flushed. Spark plugs may have to be changed also. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

If not very much it might burn thru if running at all. As HT said would suggest that too. Makes no sense diesel is most costly around me and suspect lots of places still it doesn't fit at a normal pump to an unleaded gasoline car? Depending on how much % of fuel in what type of car could be a lot of work or luck burn a little bit thru a maybe with solvents to thin it a maybe. IDK as you aren't sure either. Nobody likes fuel costs are not going to get better soon time to hurry to figure out what to do about it that wasn't a reasonable choice at all sounds more like vandalism? A spat or revenge of some sort. > It's just not an easy mistake!
