Alright guys, I don't know if you remember me posting about regular gas being poured accidentally in a diesel car. But, we got the car fixed and the ford shop told us they dropped the gas tank down and removed all the mixed fuel and change the filter and just added a higher octane in the gas. Well, once we got the car back.. We took it for a long drive to see if everything is okay. So we drove to new york which is only 60k away from me and it drove normal and fine. But on the way back home, the motor started to hesitate and started bogging on the high way. So, I had no idea what was going on and I was trying to figure out a conclusion why my motor was running like ass.. So my first thought was, maybe the ford ppl at the shop must of half ass'd on working on the van or they rigid it so i can come back and pay more stuff. Well that same day i drove it straight to the ford shop where i last took it, too see if they can reimburse me some how for there shity work. And they gave me a call the next day, telling me that im going to be spending $1,600 bucks for parts and labor to replace a whole new fuel tank, fuel filter, fuel pump, and drain the whole fuel lines again. And I was like WTF? didn't you guys just fix my car to not have problems and shit. And the guy at the service desk told me the reason why we have to replace all that is because, we found fuel tank paint stripping and it clogged the fuel filter.. And I was like, how is that possible? And then the guy said, its because when diesel and gas mix together, it makes a chemical reaction and probably caused the paint in the inside of the gas tank start to strip. And I was really effy about what he said so i was like, I don't think that's possible because we poured 3 gallons of regular gas with 1 gallon of diesel and it barely made its way to the motor.. And usually diesel floats on top of gas so I really don't think it caused the gas tank paint to strip.. And when the guy heard me say that, he started to change the subject mad fast! So i was like, these niggas at there shop is trying to get more money out of my pocket! And then I was thinking, do car company's really paint the gas tank? Because really, if there trying to scam me for more cash, im going to throw a brick at the cars posted outside there dealership.. So What Would CtVtec Do?

[nancybabyy:)]

Throw bricks at the cars! :P

EDIT- Haha, I keeeddd :] That sucks JayR :( Hopefully you get it resolved.

It sucks because, I hate working on ford trucks.. So annoying and I never in my life ever took a gas tank out of a car.. So my only choice would be letting these ass holes fix it or find a better shop to do it. You know?

Sounds like a scam...I seen ppl put all types of gas in my days working as a landscaper, for some reason I remember and correct me if I'm wrong, if u fill ur sh!t with reg gas and its a diesel,you add a quart of atf and ur good (same mixture as diesel), or close ...I don't know if it gos the other way around,but if they drained the whole fuel system u should have been good ..neways g/l bro sry to hear

lol its the other way around, its if you pour diesel in gas then you have to run a higher octane.

u dont think they paint gas tanks go punch the ************ who told you that in the eye

[Herminshs]

Gas tanks are no painted, some are treated with special clear substance to prevent corrosion, other than that, most new tanks nowdays are made of a hard plastic, which in turn require no coating or paint at all..

Second, change the fuel pump, fuel filter, pull the injectors and clean them out and you should be all set..I've seen that same problem at the shop plenty of times...

Thanks herm, see thats what i thought. I mean, i know they spray like a special rust coating or something on the tank.. But painting it? Doesnt make sense to me, because if it were painted then the gas would be like a thinner to remove the paint coating.. And it didnt make sense ether, because they use the same gas tank for Regular gas and diesel of the same car i have..
