First off, is there really such a thing as bad gas?

I filled up on gas last night and now this morning it seems like my fuel filter is clogged or something. I just replaced it not too long ago though. My poor baby is sputtering and stalling unless I rev it. If it is bad gas, can what do I do?

add soem octane booster, might help... yes there is such thing as bad gas
 






I know here in Michigan I tend to get the rough start hard idle in the winter. I always add Heat gas-line antifreeze & water remover. This may help your condition but if not its the cheapest way to start.
 






Yeah, I always add Heat to my tank...I don't think I did when I filled up though. Gonna give it a try. It's more of a outta gas-lurch-stall thing though. :( I'll figure it out in the morning.

try eating a burrito before a hockey game then drinking some beer and I think that will answer your question.


-had to do it, no one else had.
 






Haha, yeah I saw that coming. I took the x out today and it's been fine...so we'll see what happens.
