Bad Gas?

[RETed]

First of all, draining the gas tank all the way down till it dies is a big no-no.
The fuel pump pick-up will end up sucking all the crap that's concentrated on the bottom of the gas tank when you do this.
I would try and change out the fuel filter first...

Second, I dunno how good the 7-11 gas is over there, but I would never touch the 7-11 gas down here.
I always would use Shell, and if I have to, any of the name brand gas (i.e. Chevron, Unocal) before hitting any of the "generic" or discount brands.

Sounds like a plan. I'll go ahead and change that out.

I've never had a problem with it before until yesterday. I've since put in some exxon, but I ended up catching the stomach flu so I havne't been able to look at the gas tank.
