Fire won't start

Well now that you've filled the tank I can just about guarantee it's GOING TO BE A FUEL PUMP ISSUE that will require the dropping of the full tank.

Isn't that always the way it goes...

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 .

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 .

Good times man, and thanks for the pics of the repair. So they gave you your money back for the fuel? That's odd. I guess if you return the product though, they have no reason no to give you a refund. I bet everyone else that bought that gas paid thousands to all the local repair shops for .. new head gaskets, new fuel pumps, a tune up, etc. And I bet they all got a new tank of gas as well, but it was not listed on the $2,000 invoice.

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 ...!

theres still gonna be some water in the tank so use isopropyl dry gas for a while to help it burn off. methanol dry gas does not mix with the water. 

[richard wysong]

sounds like they had a leaky cap on the storage tank that let rain water in or you refueled while they were filling it

[richard wysong]

you should have charged them labor, if you didn't do the repair yourself they would be paying the bill

So did the gas station volunteer to take the 22 gallons of bad gas? I mean what are you supposed to do with it and why do YOU have to drain it?

If you were to put it in a large glass container, and wait long enough, the water may separate. Then you could siphon off the good fuel, leaving just the water behind. I would not waste my time, but to each their own. Hell, just leave the full gas cans outside your house. Sooner or later they will disappear, and a criminal will get what they deserve.
