[DML] Re: Car won't go over 1500 RPMs (and radio won't work)





Given the chain of events leading up to your problem it is most 
probably the fuel. "Milky" is definitely abnormal. I would, if 
possible, get some of that fuel in a container and save it for the 
state inspectors too. You might get the store to pay you something 
or your insurance company. Premium at a low volume station is always 
a risk in my opinion - but to your problem. Obviously, the way to 
solve your problem is get good fresh gas back into the ENTIRE 
system. Completely drain and refill with good fresh gas, the more 
fresh gas the better - say at least a half tank. A new fuel filter 
would be good and some fuel additive that helps dissolve moisture - 
maybe some Sta-Bil.

When it starts, let it warm up before too many RPMs, spiking with 
water in the gas could be hard on the engine. The fuel system is 
recirculating and will do some self "flushing". Change the oil or at 
least the oil filter. Get more fresh fuel into the tank.
