Bad Fuel

Just for everyone’s heads up, we are heading towards warmer weather and stopped to get fuel at Costco. OMG, only put in about 1/4 tank and about 10 mile down the road it started acting up, was able to nurse it to an open lot here in Blackfoot. Long story short the fuel was thinned out enough to not get enough lube to the cp pump and injectors. Luck enough it didn’t do anymore damage. Replaced the pump and injectors cleaned the system and tank. No garages within 50 miles could work on it for 2-3 weeks. The person we got to do the work has went out of their way to help. Hauled us water, took me to get LP, and then his sister-in-law whom works at cal ranch paid for our gas. Happy Thanksgiving she said. And this afternoon my mechanic and wife showed up with 2 plates of food and 2 plates of desserts. Happy Thanksgiving. It is so good to see good people are out there. Oh we’ve been here a week already and probably another 5 days because of the Holiday. We’re warm. Lol.
