Not being funny mate, but whats with all the "5er's" of fuel, why didn't you just fill the tank to the brim to dilute it as much as possible

Obviously i know its not going to help you now but filling the tank probably would of been the cheaper option in the long run?

Even at this point now i'd fill the tank up and see if it improves, the stuff will still be in the tank and fuel system
