Water in gas question
If you have gotten bad gas with water in it, how long did it take for the car to start running like crap ? I put filled up in Centerville on the way back to Houston and put about 6 gallons in, and when I got into the Woodlands, the car started to miss out slightly. By the time I pulled over, it would not even idle and would stay running only when you kept it revved. Would it normally take a while for the bad gas to dilute the rest of it ?
Thanks,
Ernest

I had a bad tank of gas in my old 93 LT1 and it took the car maybe about a quarter mile before it started idling funny and then just shut down completely, although that was on a full fill up. If u got bad gas it shouldn't take long for the car to start sputtering and then die. With that distance from where u filled up to where it died I don't think itss the gas
PS- don't ever buy conoco gas, its the devil!
