sorry you probably thought it was something cool.
but its an issue i need sorted
i picked up my car after it got fixed..(no engine work just hubs n brakes)
and i filled her up at the servo on the way home.. when i got back into the car after paying for the fuel i tried to start her.. and she just sounded like a lawn mower turning on.. and now everytime i turn her on.. same thing until she gets a few revs into her she settles..
would it be carby?
end of the line for my engine?
or just bad fuel??

First off check or change your fuel filter.

[ando_zook94]

thinking it might be bad fuel.. coz when i picked her up from scrawns she was good.. but as soon as i put fuel in.. bam! shittttts

Fuel filter is behind the drivers back wheel.

Could be water, sus out the fuel filter, if there is some, bung in a bottle of metho, if there is a lot, its a strop job.

What does the metho do

Well to be slightly more specific... Water is insoluable in std unleaded. So it'll seperate out, rust the bottom of the tank, get sucked through the lines and your engine will take a big gulp of water instead of fuel and generally run like shit.

Onto the metho, it's soluable in both fuel and water. So it effectively binds the water and fuel together so the water disperses through the tank of fuel. That stops it from settling on the bottom of the tank, and because your engine will be only breathing in a small proportion of water compared to fuel it wont cause it any harm. This is assuming it's a relatively small amount of water we're talking about.
