Help! Bad gas. :-(
Just got to a stop and can check in for help.
I think I got a bad tank of gas.
The car is running poorly. No power. No acceleration.
I got a tank of "fina" gas.
When I realized I had no power I tanked up at an Exon. 5 gal was added.
It's still "not great".
Any advice?
I will be in a small town for a week anday be able to burn up the tank.
If I were home I would drain it and refill.
Help! My car is crippled! What do I do?

My son did the same thing a few years ago when he bought some premium while we were out on a trip. We went to the Autozone and picked up some fuel drier and added two bottle to his tank. Drove it around the parking lot at a rest area for 15 minutes or so and it finally got to the point where it ran good again. I wish I could remember the name of the stuff but I cannot.

Hope someone adds from experience that it is possible to siphon a C5, most new cars are next to impossible because of safety valves(rollover) etc!!!
My advice is to add some water remover and drive it
