A friend's daughter has a 1990Civc that she bought new.
The car has perfect body work, and she has all routine
and scheduled maintinance. LAst weekend on the way back
from Red River gorge it would hesitate so badly on the
interstate that she got off at the first chance and drove
back on the slower back roads.

I went over saturday and drove it. It acted real funny.
My first thought was bad gasoline, she filled up right
before the trouble started.

So we drained the tank, 10+ gallons is a LOT of gasoline.
We put a gallon of fresh, good gas and I drove to the nearest
chevron. And filled it up. OUCH, glad she was paying!

We hit the road and I went for a spin on the nearest high speed
road. Again, bad hesitation. The worst I have ever seen.

I was ready to start pulling prats and taking measurements but
here son, a Honda biker, suggested we give Gumout "Regane Complete
Fuel System Cleaner." I had some serious doubts, but she wanted to
give it a try. So off to walmart. Bought it for less then $6.
Added it, and filled the car up at the SuperAmerica across the road.
I figured a littel gasohol couldn't hurt.

My wife and daughter's friend and I went for a spin. With a cellphone.
Went to London KY, about 80 miles south on I75. The car kicked and
bucked a little at the start, but soon settled down. I was amazed

So we then zoomed down to Corbin and stopped at a nice little
hole in the wall for a late lunch. We drove back with no
hesitation.

Guys I have to say that this specific Gumout cleaner works great.
I suggested that she get her fuel filter changed after the next
fill up. And that she use this tank nearly up, as close to empty as
she dares.

I will post if anything changes, but I suspect the last load of gas
she got prior to the problem and it left some gunk on the injectors.
The old gas looks and smells ok, but none of us want to test it in out
cars.

Now what do you do with ~10 gallons of bad gas?
