I went to the Gas Station on Tuesday my gas was almost to E, I got a half a tank of gas, soon after I got it, I started my car, 2 minutes of driving, my car started putt'n, stalling, and acting like it wanted to cut off..My car was working fine, until I got that gas...Now I know I was due for an oil change, and a tune up, but..the car was working fine until I got that gas..When I got to my destiantion, which was work, I got out the car, came back to the car about 5 or 6 hours later, and the car would not start right away, without me having to pump the gas, and then it cut off, and I had to start it again, it didnt start rolling untill, 10-15 minutes later..And the gas pump I was using was pumping out rather slow, it took about 5 minutes just to get a half tank of gas, in a 98 honda civic thats only 10 dollars worth..How can you tell when you have put bad gas in your car?
you got bad gas, probably water in the gas. get some fuel injector cleaner and put in your tank and leave it run for awhile.How can you tell when you have put bad gas in your car?
We all make assumptions very rapidly that its the gas. It probably is and you'll probably go get the dry gas you talked about in your other question and pour that in. But listen, until you've seen the inside of the fuel tank and cleaned it, you'll just assume some gas station gives you bad gas, but what I'm telling you is that the tanks I clean out have had about half pint of water in them. What this means is that just about every fill up you should be adding some kind of additive to keep the water out. Then there's no guarantee that the tank will be free of water. ITS an ONGOING processHow can you tell when you have put bad gas in your car?
well that could be a sign really hard to look at it without pumping some into a glass jar
but so easy to just buy a bottle of fuel treatment to remove water and clean fuel system which one should be doing like one changes oil but you can add it every week if you want cost like two bucks to try it and it doesnt hurt
first shouldnt run a car on low
that alone wil make fuel tank sweat and you get water more so in winter fuels will get water some places more than others say with wide temp changes cold one day hot the next
just go buy a bottle or two try a bottle of fuel treatment fill up at another place run it dont to a 1/4 tank add another bottle should take care of fuel systemHow can you tell when you have put bad gas in your car?
Could be contaminated with water. let your local environmental people know of your suspicions and they will check.
Go to another service station and fill up to the top. When you've used a quarter top up again. Do this for a week or so and you should have used uo the contamination.
Alternative is to drain the tank but not easy.How can you tell when you have put bad gas in your car?
If i were you i would go to a different place and fill your car all the way to the top with gas. The mixture of good gas to bad gas (if that is the problem) should have your car run better. If you car doesnt experience those problems after you filled it up then you know not to go to the that place for gas again. Bad gas can happen and will clog up your injectors.
