I was driving people home from school,
All was fine. I dropped them off, Started heading home.
As I was driving the car started Boging/hesitating quite bad.

I stopped and went into the store to get a drink.

The car wouldnt start up.
It would rotate, and fire every so offen.

I put gas in that morning at a gas station I usualy dont go to.
I now heard that some people had problems with their Vehicles cause the gas had water in it.

I went to another gas stations and filled up a gas can. Put it in my car, And after a while it started.

I drove it around and It bogged/Hesitated really bad, Accelerating from a stop, Even with very little throttle.

I drove it around some more then it finally died again, Wouldnt start but would rotate and Fire..

Any Ideas... This is really pissing me off... Broke down 3 times within 3 months.. heh.
Also Daily driver...

 

try syphening the gas out of your tank into a bucket, dispose of it properly...put some 93 octane gas in there and throw some dry gas in there, and next time you fill put fill up with Texaco Shell or Exxon Premium gas (it has awwesome cleaning agents in it) and you can also buy an additive to remove water from gas lines, i think HEET might make it...any walmart will have something in the section with all the oil and stuff...
then when you are driving it around, everywhere you go, punch the gas as hard as it will go, that way you blow all that crap out of your system.

 

There is a locl gas station like that near my house. I made the mistake of putting in ONCE, JUST ONCE. And NEVER AGAIN. It took, 2 weeks, 3 bottles of "DryGas" and every time the gas gauge went down, I would fill at my normal station.
Food for thought, not a month after that happened, a girl I knoe filled at that same station, after me telling her what happened to my car. Well she was not so fourtunate. Driving parents NEW DURANGO and well... not 45 minutes after fillup, she was stranded at side of road. barely crank, refused to start.
Got tacken to shop. Compression test... Hold on to your a$$ here...
#1 130
#2 131
#3 0.00
#4 130
#5 125
#6 0.0
#7 132
#8 110(and fell during testing)

Yes that gas and burned 3! pistons completely up.
#3&#6 had 3/8" HOLES IN THE TOP!
#8 had many many needle pins divits.

Not to scare you, but when you hear of places like that YOU STAY AWAY FROM THEM. IF YOU OBSOLUTLY HAVE TO, get MINIMAL GAS, and BUY DRYGAS AND PUT IT IN BEFORE YOU EVEN HANG UP THE NOZZLE.

 

yea man thats a sad story.
like i said, syphon that gas out ASAP you dont want any more of that $hit in there

 

Whats sad is that it took almost 6 months for the "gas/water station" to pay for the new engine.

 

ouch

 

Man being in Alberta, you have water in your gas, then it froze the gas line.

 

Jesus...bad gas did THAT?? What the hell did they put in it..nitrometh? TNT??? I prefer to stick to known stations...big ones that everyone goes to... Those small, ma and pa, run down stations worry me....

 

So do you guys think this is a Symptom of Bad gas?

Ps.. no 93 octane here.. Only 91.
We pay like $4US a Gallon and our gas doesn't have the rep to be clean either...

 

I feel sorry for you Canada people... And I complain about $1.40 a gallon for cheapo gas...I feel guilty now..

 

I dunno if i Calculated it right but..
3.8 Liters in a Gallon, We pay.. $.789 Canadian per liter.

So we Pay $2 Usa, or 3$~cnd Per Gallon..
Thats for 78 or 79 Octane.<-- I think,, Can't rmeember

I guess Last time i checked was when gas prices were really high.. $.959 canadian/liter.. for 91.
Bleh, Still lots

 

btw...79 or 79? You mean 87? Lol..78 or 79 is terrible gas. Lowest sold in the states that I'm aware of is 87. There might be 84-85-ish or so but I haven't heard of it.

 

oh yeah its 87 haha I can't think straight today.
Yeah, today..

 

i feel sorry for you man...i hope i helped

 

Yeah its either 87, 89, 91 or 92 octane here in NS. and it runs between 3.20 -3.50 per gallon (low octane to higest). So that is 2.15 american to 2.30US Or somewheres around there.

 

i thought it was just my car that did that one time i used no name gas and my car acted like $hit for about a week, rev real high and would not go down had problems starting it, boggin. but as soon as it hit e and i fill with ultra 94 it was perfect again. learned my lesson. every one i no thinks its a joke because i never get no name gas no matter the price.special car need special treatment
. LOL
