Q: Bad gas was put in the van, 3 premium tanks later I'm still having issues with the van stalling.
Our van began to stall, the engine light went on and it wouldn't move even with the gas pedal being pushed. We took it to our mechanic and he thought it may have been rodents chewing wires. It wasn't. After some investigation, he found out my husband had put bad gas in the car. He told us that once the gas burns out we should be fine. We have now gone through 3 tanks of premium gas and we are still having some issues with the car stalling. Definitely not as much but the car will stall randomly. What else can I do? Will this cause damage to the rest of our engine?
My car has 27000 miles.
