Eddie Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Get a locking gas cap! The first mod I get for every car. I don't care what snopes says sugar in the gas tank will **** up your car. I know first hand. The whole fuel sysytem has to be flushed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwest94 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 a locking gas cap was the first thing I bought for my SS. I did that same thing. Got one at Pep Boys for 20 bucks. I once got gas since I was almost empty on my way to work one morning and when I pulled out of the gas station I wasn't more then 500 feet down the road when my car died. I could not get it running so I ended up calling my mechanic to tow me away. He looked into things and found that water was mixed in with the gas, enough to keep it from running, so he drained the gas out and filled it up with fresh gas and I was all set. The car ran a little rough for a little while but then it smoothed out. Crazy I found out the next day that the mechanic next door to where I was working at that time had 3 cars come in the day before (the same day that I got the water) with the same problem as me. He said he called the gas station and talked with the manager but wasn't able to get anywhere. I paid cash and didn't get a receipt with my fill up, so I was out of luck anyways. Now I ALWAYS get a receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
