I wouldn't put it past bad gas. My friend's GTI stopped running, we went through the standard procedures for what was going on, new fuel pump .. yadda yadda. Still would not run. Then totally by chance we were starting a fire in the wood burner (good ol fashioned heat) and went to use some gas that was drained from the tank and it barely lit on fire. We went out and bought 5 gallons from the local BP and never had a problem again.



Sounds more like he put diesel fuel in his car.

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
