Default Fuel Issue...Adulterated Gasoline

Greetings From Hellas.....I am new here but I have an urgent issue and need your help as I see you are well educated on the focus

Probably somewhere I put adulterated petrol, the car acts crazy and the engine sometimes goes off or acting like it is about to go off. I replaced the filter in which water and red mud was inside, ...do you have any idea what to do to clean this?


Kindly Regards
Maria

I think she is Maria. Where as this one is just Maria

I answer to your question a surgest draining the whole tank then putting fresh petrol in with a new fuel filter.

I'd suggest taking the tank off the car and hosing out then allow to dry, to ensure 100% all the crap is out.
