I like his thinking ..!

I have to take it to a county drop off . I put a bottle of heat in with the tank of gas and will for a while . I little off at idle but throttle responsive and cruises the freeway fine . Codes cleared and haven't came back " yet " ...

I am a regular customer they know they'll get it back 10 fold . Hopefully it was caught before too many people filled up . But what a pain ...!

I appreciate you guys trying to help and your input Thank You ..!

I disconnected the fuel line at the fuel rail , inserted 8' of 5/16" hose into the braided fuel line opening fit perfect , grabbed 5 home depot pails and lids , dropped my spare tire opened the fuel pump control mode plug mounted to the frame , jumped the fuel pump and it pumped out 20+ gal's in 10mins . My '11 doesn't have a fuel pump relay or fuse under the hood . Didn't drop the tank , loft the box or go thru the filler tube .

It would fire and wanted to start. The fuel rail would regenerate pressure and lots of spark . I grabbed a fuel pressure tester and it was 60 PSI when cranking . Air , gas , spark . It just started acting up minutes after i topped off the tank ( $78 / 22 gal's ) so out of curiosity i ran some from the pressure gauge relief into the jar and sure as ****** ..... milk/gas ..... the gas station closed off the 89 Octane pumps and happily reimbursed me . It turns out someone backed into the fueling truck hose when he was refilling the station tanks and broke something and thats when they think the fuel got contaminated .

The jar came out of the truck , the glass on the right is year old gas for the snow blower from last year . The new gas ( 20 gals ) was what i topped off with and had to drain . Truck is back to normal .

It was 23 gallons of bad gas

I am leaning towards a crank / cam sensor . But all the codes were MAF and TPS

Before i had the issue it had rough idle and boggy start but would clear up once i got going from a stop . So the fuel pump was keeping up at higher RPM's .

Yeah i got a backfire with starting fluid earlier today . It seems like the the MAF or TPS weren't telling the computer to give fuel . I agree the codes don't mean ya have to replace parts but they are factory 260K miles on it . And autozone is 5 mins away . I have a Hypertech programmer and cleared the codes unhooked the battery for the night and will try it again in the morning . I will also try cleaning the intake ( butterfly ) at the TPS and check pressure in the fuel rail again .
