Earlier today I was going to go to the gas station but its so d*** expensive. So i ran to the kitchen and pulled out some of that white vinegar sh*t and filled it in my gas tank. You'd think it'll work since they both are 4-methyl ancillicilicates but my car isn't running now and I'm afraid I ruined something. I called the mechanic and he said I was an idiot and repairs could run $500+ I know hes just trying to fleece me so I tried to fix it myself. I tried to counter act the effects with bleach since it is a base but I think I messed up the fuel system even worse. What should I do?

you are an idiot. what the heck were you thinking. don't touch another car or anything else for that matter. you will probably mess that up too.

I'm sure you aren't as stupid as you claim to be but just in case you are you need to drain the gas tank then disconnect your fuel line from the carburetor or fuel injection. Turn the motor with the starter till it all pumps out of the line and into a container. Throw this crap away.Hook your gas line back up.Then walk to the gas station and buy a can of gas. Put it in your car and it should start after a few minutes of turning. Unless the bleach ate the rubber parts out of your fuel pump.
If this doesn't work add a couple of gallons of grape Kool-aid.
What size vinegar did you buy? It shouldn't be enough to fill your tank. I think vinegar cost more per gallon than gas. Vinegar isn't flamable. Neither is bleach. They won't burn in an engine.
If you're that big an idiot you should spend the $500 and get it fixed by somebody that's not as stupid as you. That sounds like an accurate estimate to me.
Cecil may be joking but water will work in an automatic transmission. If it gets too hot it will boil over from the dipstick and it won't work below 32 degrees. I did it once. It worked all summer. I junked it before it froze.

As far as I'm aware vinegar isn't even flammable. And yes you really did screw up...BIG TIME.... the only thing you could do is drain the fuel tank and fuel line and try putting fresh GASOLINE in the tank. That is about all YOU can do....If that doesn't work the engine may need some work.

Good Job Genius. Call a tow truck. Have them take it to a repair shop. And dish out the money to get it fixed.

man, you're stupid. i thought only 21b's were dumb enough to do things like that. but since you have proved me wrong, i will answer your question. change your fuel filters, drain your fuel lines and tank, use clean fuel to clean the fuel lines out, and change the fuel injectors and spark plugs. or push it off a cliff. that might be a little cheaper.

just add 2 gallons of water to the transmission and the car should run fine. This can't be a real question, but it was funny.

dummy.
Now you have to get rid of it.
Want a car that gets good MPG and able to make your own fuel?
Get a Diesel.
And I think you were looking for 4carbon, not 4 ancillicilicates!!
