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! |

Thought so. Yeah, your fuel pump is probably fine. Unless there was a ton of ethanol in the fuel, the plastic parts should be ok. If they flushed the system, I'd say the pump is probably running free now and you won't have any problems later.
