Bad Gasoline: Don't rule it out
-
If you are waiting on an adjuster then stop touching your car! I deal with this stuff at work and the second a customer starts messing with things it all starts to go downhill. Leave it as is and save all receipts. If you need a rental find out if their insurance will cover it. If you miss any time at work make sure you have it documented and get a letter from your employer with the dates missed.

I have not been able to get a hold of the lady so I have no clue what the hell is going on and the gas station owner keeps telling me to deal with the insurance. I can't wait a month without a car for the people at the insurance company to get their shit together. I kept all my receipts so far though and fortunately I am using a family vehicle. My biggest worry is that since it is an older vehicle with high mileage that they are going to say it is totaled so that they don't need to pay out as much.

I understand the hardship but I would advise you to not do anything that may give the insurance company cause to deny your claim. After that it's a slippery slope. They're usually pretty good about this stuff. Do you know the name of the insurance company?

What is their name and where did they touch you?
Is there a lawsuit yet?

It's Acuity insurance. Kohler is right next door and I almost feel like walking into the place but I'm sure they wouldn't let me. And could they really deny my claim if it was proven to be bad fuel by the state tests and I have receipts? Or are you saying that they will try to say that I made it worse?

Well I got the car started. It runs extremely rough as if it were only firing on 5 cylinders and it throws a lambda 2 code on acceleration. So it could be basically anything air/fuel/electrical related.

you've pumped out all the lines and replaced the fpr, did you do anything to the injectors? besides the fuel pump and fpr they are really the only thing left in the fuel system. buy a set of rebuilts, they are pretty cheap, maybe $60 for the set.
i don't see how anything air or electrical would have been affected at all, so don't start chasing there.

It took awhile to push the stuff through the system but I finally got her running. I was so worried the injectors were clogged last night.

Is that your lawyer talking in the video?
Good stuff, does it run normal or does it feel a bit off?
Funny you say that because no joke I actually did go out to eat with my lawyer last night. When I took this video it was still running a little rough but after a 30 min drive it is back to normal.

Mr. Strackbein will refrain from further comment until he speaks with his attorney.
You're hired. I'll give you 80/20 of any profit over the price of my expenses.

The previous owner removed the cat back exhaust entirely... It's loud but I actually really like it.

ah nice - ran mine like that for a couple weeks while waiting for the new muffler to arrive. sounds awesome, a little too loud for daily driving and respecting my neighbors.
