I went to a gas station that had bad gas. The gas was mixed with water. My van cut off and wouldn't start. I drained the gas out and put in some new gas. Then i started it and it didn't start it just keept making sounds like it was trying to start but couldn't. Then i took it apart and added some starting fluid and it started then shut down like five minutes later. Then when it was shutting down it started puttin. How do i make it start and stay started.

first thing...don't use starting fluid on a gas enige i've seen oil pans blow off from doing that. pull of the air cleaner dump a little gas into the throtle body if it doesn't start maybe the bad gas has glogged your lines or fuel filter maybe try changing the filter to see if that helps.

Put any type of additive like HEET in your gas tank that contains alcohol, and lots of it. Prime the engine by squirting gas direct into the engine. After a few times, most of the water will be gone. When you first start driving it stay off main roads, because it may quit again in traffic. Repeat priming if necessary to get out all the water. Add the alcohol additive for the next 2 or 3 fillups and it should all go away.
Keep account all your expense connected with this and if you can prove the bad gas came from that station, they will have to reimburse you.

you got water each and every of ways from gasoline tank to the carb or injectors which ever. I had this subject and that i basically saved beginning with a sprint gas to the carb till it began. you ought to diconnect the gasoline line on the carb and crank it and seize the gas in a field till at last the water end coming.
