Morning all,
I'm not 100% sure that the issue I'm having in the last 24hrs is down to bad fuel but it only seems to have reared it's ugly head since I filled up yesterday. I never run the tank down... the light rarely comes on... but I filled the car last night in my local Maxol near work as I do each week. I noticed when I pulled out onto the M50 heading home that it had a slight hesitation when accelerated with ease!
When I'm cruising along at 100-120... engine under load... and not really on boost.... I can feel what can only be described as a 'hunting' affect... it's like someone is rhythmical and very lightly pressing the brake pedal to the point where I'm actually mildly rocking back in forth while driving which is driving my a little bats... it also does it when you accelerate lightly... if you gun it... it isn't as noticeable!
The car is bog stock... walbro pump and nothing else worth mentioning. I know it could be a multitude of things but I was curious if anyones has had any experiences with bad fuel and if so what the affects of it was.
If it is bad fuel... what's my come back with the garage... how do you proove it... and how do I get the fecking 70 odds euros I put in the car back off them!
Cheers for an advice you might be able to offer me,
Jamie.
