 Subject: low gas=poor running
IP: Logged
Message:
This makes no sense but at times when my 94 v6 Dak gets down to between 1/3to1/4 of a tank of gas it will miss,stumble and just runs bad If I fill up tank it clears up and runs fine.It happens in all kinds of weather.Its been doing it for a while so if its the fuel pump it should have completly failed by now ??Any help is appreciated tanks in advance

get the fuel pressure tested and compare it to what it is supposed to be, i dont remember what the spec is. that is a little bit odd, but maybe the extra weight is just enough to keep the pressure in the pump high enough to run.

You're sucking water at the bottom of the tank (condensation). Add drygas, keep it filled higher.

"Heat" is the best they make a dry gas and a water remover, local wal mart carries it

Alcohol is not corrosive. Long-term, in high doses, it may attack certain rubber parts, but it is safe to use occasionally (once or twice a season). STP makes a good product, as does Gumout.
