Looks like I bought a little over 15gal of contaminated fuel Friday evening. I did not drive the car all weekend and only drove straight home from the station. Went out after work and was going to head off and the car was missing terribly. Then shut down and would not start back up. Thinking the pump quit I got out the tester. Upon hooking it up I noticed the fuel did not smell right. Pumped the "fuel?" in a bottle and found I have a nasty mix of yuck lemonade looking stuff floating on top of orange looking water stuff. Any suggestions on removing this crap without causing damage to anything?

It's gotta come out. I'm thinking gas line and siphon ball into 5 gallon tanks, then replace with good fuel and fuel stabilizer. Give a crank and see if it fires. May have to replace the fuel filter. That would clear a lot of bad fuel in the lines. I'm not a pro but that's just an amateurs thoughts. I bow to the voices of experience.

Get one of the hand pumps from the Harbor Freight or similar for about $8. Pump out as much as you can. Fill it up with fresh stuff and run it a bit, change the fuel filter. I'd run some techron cleaner through it, too, but some say that's bad for multecs.

Have Bosch III's from FIC. It is an L98.Pumped out fuel. Added some new. Appears to have lost three cylinders at the moment. Unplugging the injector on these three change nothing. It is late. I am tired. I will pull the plugs on those three tomorrow after work. Contacted the company and now I have to have an ASE certified mechanic and garage check it out to file a claim. What a pain. I guess there are just too many dishonest people anymore.

I bought 25 gal of water from a station in my work truck. I cranked it up, pulled out on the road and it died. Stupidly I didnt get a receipt because I paid for the fuel outa my personal account. Ended up dropping the tank, dumping the water and replacing the fuel pump. Sheesh.
