Re: Help!

Welcome to AF!

You have quite a task ahead of you as you will need to drop the fuel tank and clean it out, the fuel pump will probably still work but it will have to be cleaned out by running a solvent through it. I recommend using a petroleum based liquid solvent, kerosene will work as long as you don't run it too long.

Next you will have to flush the fuel lines, replace the fuel filter, replace the fuel pressure regulator and most expensively you will probably have to replace the injectors. The cat will need replaced along with the oxygen sensors. You will probably also need new plugs because these are probably so carboned up that they won't work.

A very expensive mistake!
