Broke down today! Well sort of. Went for a nice ride with the Mrs. tonight, and since she doesnt like the highway to much, I decided to take some city streets up through town, which meant a lot of stop and go and low rpms. Stopped for gas at a Shell station, filled up with premium, and about 3-4 miles later it started cutting out terrible. Played the throttle and worked through it, had an enourmous backfire, and away we went. Did this about 10 - 12 more times in the 6 -8 miles home, mostly at low to mid rpm's.
Now, I know this has all the sympoms of bad gas. So, should I drain it imediatly and go get a new filter, or try some seafoam and see what happens?
Is there really any way to tell if the gas is bad or not? Is it water or dirt?
The engine light never came on and there are no codes. Other than that, she is put away for the night and I'll deal with it in the morning.
Oh, the other details are:
08 ultra
Had the fuel filter changed during recall. (I know these are really the same symptoms as the faulty one)
Big sucker, V&H fuel pack, true duels.
9100 miles.
