Put in 11.7 gallons. Can ran FINE right before the refueling, NO problems whatsoverer.
Right after started stumbling, idle speed droping, dying. Any ideas? Gas station sais gas is fine, and I did not put diesel, at least I do know I put in regular unleded handle. Thanks! |

This seems to be the best guess. Chevron QUETLY (without telling me what was in the gas) paid for towing my car, flushing the fuel lines and tank, replacing the fuel filter.
Just done, and they say it runs great. BIG question for me - should I insist on fuel pump replacement? Any other long term damage possibe? I do not know what was in the gas, they keep saying toyota fuel pumps are "booletproof", but... They admited contamination fact as such and shut down all the pumps at the station.
