HELP!!! what to do. dave284 Enthusiast / Moderator Apr 12, 2008, 1:43 PM Post #2 of 4 (1451 views) Re: adulterated gasoline Sign In Have you cranked it ?...if youre positive that the gas has been contaminated...drop and drain the tank then purchase a gas cap with a on it. Running it with p.s. fluid in it could cause it to smoke/miss/and damage the o2 sensor. rg2209 New User Apr 12, 2008, 1:52 PM Post #3 of 4 (1450 views) Re: adulterated gasoline Sign In it starts great but runs rough. the locking gas door was forced open. thanks for the input.. johnbrent Novice Apr 14, 2008, 1:06 AM Post #4 of 4 (1438 views) Re: adulterated gasoline Sign In Something similar had happened to me before but I guess it was a little easier, the gas door was not forced opened but water was placed on the gas tank. My young friends feared running out of gas so they placed a liter of water in the gas tank. I wasn't able to discover the problem until one week later, it wouldn't run well, it will run for about 10 to 15 seconds but will die, sent it to the mechanic and cost me $120. now I know never to lend my car again.
