I start up the bike to ride to work this morning. Starts fine, idles fine, runs great.
I go to a local Chevron station and fill up, premium. About 2 minutes after I leave, merging into traffic, the bike starts sputtering and running really rough. I decide not to risk it and it starts running worse yet. I stall about twice coming from a stop on my way back home (to get the teener), had to idel at 2k to keep it from dying. I think I might have gotten some bad gas, maybe too much water blended in? I know I'm going to have to drain the tank, but what else can I do to clean the water out? Hopefully there's no damage to anything. I've never had this problem before... What kind of recourse can I get from the station? Are there specific products for getting water out of the fuel system? |
