Getting bad gas in your car can ruin the fuel injectors and cause your car to fail to start or run rough.

A car needs the freshest gasoline available to allow the cars engine to run properly and when bad gas gets into the fuel system it can cause damage.

The fuel filter can become clogged, the fuel pump can get clogged or ruined and your fuel lines can also become clogged and your fuel injectors can become clogged.

If you have bad gas in your car it will run rough, be hard to start, engine will stall, engine may not start or the engine will run rough.

If you have bad gas in your car it needs cleaned out of the tank and then the fuel lines need to be cleaned out as well.

A new fuel filter will be needed and your fuel injectors may need replaced or cleaned.
