#1 of 6 Multiple cylinder misfires--fuel? by lexkyxfire Jun 25, 2008 (5:02 pm)
I bought a new 2006 Crossfire convertible about six months ago and love it. It now has 1991 miles, and it runs great. Last weekend, I added about 10 gal. BP premium fuel at a convenience store while on a trip. I have burned only Shell or BP premium in it since new. I only made it about 1 mile before it started misfiring, losing power, and the "check engine" light started flashing before becoming constantly on. It continued to misfire, so I rode back on a rollback. At the dealer, the engine analyzer showed multiple cylinder misfires. The fuel was drained, the lines purged, new fuel added, and it runs like it's supposed to. The gasoline distributor claims there are no other complaints from other customer, their monitor computer shows no abnormalities, and that they sample checked the fuel after my call finding no contaminates. Has anyone else heard of such a problem? Any particular types of fuel to avoid?   Thanks Replies to this message: smogdung (Jun 25, 2008 5:19 pm) lexkyxfire (Jun 25, 2008 5:52 pm) smogdung (Jun 26, 2008 6:31 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: lexkyxfire (Jun 25, 2008 5:02 pm) Exact same thing happened to me on June 11th at a 92 octane BP pump in KCK just off I-70. Tank drained....OK now. Owner of station discovered June 8th shipment was not pure gas....this load had 10% ETOH. He said you can't put ETOH fuel in a station tank unless it has a specific type of water removal system. Supplier agreed to reimburse me for all expenses. But, last night on the nightly news......local....TV....bad gas(BP) delivered to Topeka-Lawrence-Leavenworth Kansas. Uncertain what the real problem is???? Water? Replies to this message: lexkyxfire (Jun 25, 2008 5:52 pm) smogdung (Jun 26, 2008 6:31 am) lexkyxfire (Jun 26, 2008 7:49 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: smogdung (Jun 25, 2008 5:19 pm) Thanks. I have the fuel that was removed and will be reviewing this further with the BP seller. Replies to this message: smogdung (Jun 26, 2008 6:31 am) lexkyxfire (Jun 26, 2008 7:49 am) smogdung (Jun 28, 2008 4:21 am)

Replying to: lexkyxfire (Jun 26, 2008 7:49 am) According to the TV & newspaper some BP gas stations have had (they admit) diesal fuel contaminating their gasoline. They say Topeka-Lawrence-Fort Leavenworth.   They claim since mine was in KCK....mine was something else....probably water.....????
