Default Bad batch of Fuel??

Hey guys,

I picked up a tank of 7/11 Fuel the other night not thinking that it was ИИИИ fuel, and now my cars running like a dog. The whole engine shutters causing the complete length of the exhaust to shutter also.

Will this one bad batch of fuel cause permident damage to any part of the engine??

I now know not to buy 7/11 Fuel.

Thanks Paul

Thats the thing. i dont have the receipt anymore, it was a full tank thats almost ran out anyways, dad thinks my injectors may be blocked but ill see how it goes over the next batch of BP fuel to see if it continues its poor form.

We get alot of fuel contamination jobs come in at my work, most of the time an out of vehicle injector clean , clean out of the tank and a new fuel filter do the job but occasionally it corrodes fuel rails and solid fuel lines and ruins the pump....most of the time the fuel company is happy to pay the bill, sometimes even with out a receipt suprisingly
