Dirty petrol
Hi,
My Honda Integra 90 clogs up on 2000rpm and I really have to give it to reach 3000 and up, but after 2000 its fine. I took it to the mechanic and he said it was petrol wasn't good quality and suggested I use it up and fill up premium unleaded to clean it up. Has anyone had a common problem? or know anything about it? Thanks |

We stopped going to the station after the family car started running poorly every time we purchased gas at that station. We stopped buying gas at that gas station and the problem went away. Several years later, we saw an article in the local paper related to the gas station owner admitting that the storage tank had a hole in the top of it and rain water would get in the tank after every major rain storm. You should change the gas filter since it is probably contaminated and fill up the tank with gas purchased at a fairly new gas station that has newer storage tanks. Also, I advise you to buy major brands since they are more likely to have cleaner gasoline. It does not have to be premium gas or petrol. |

Re: Dirty petrol
Go to Costco and buy four bottles of Chevron fuel cleaner for $10+ and it does help. -- GusTheCat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via RealCarAudio.com - The checkmate of the caraudio community. http://www.RealCarAudio.com GusTheCat's Profile: http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/m...fo&userid=3684 View this thread: http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/s...threadid=45958 |
