Full Freakin tank of bad gas

Japanjay · 02-17-2015, 10:26 PM

Thought about octane booster, but I just wanted this crap out the tank if it was the source of the constant 0300. After giving it 87 on accident and the car ran fine, I wanted it out. I had to go shoulder deep to run the hose over the hump to get onto the drive side. Plus, if it was heavy sediment, would have known as soon as getting the pump out and shining a LED flash light into the tank, I would then have to clean the filter and bowl, so octane booster would not have worked in that case. I have 80k on this car which was another factor and peaking at the filter and bowl have been on my to do list.

Just something I found out, was wanting to siphon as much as I could from the fill port since the thing was not a dot off full and didn't want to spill gas in the car, but come to find out something is down there that wont let the hose go into the tank where the gas sits. Went in about a foot and half and stopped, guess some anti-gas stealing thing in there.
