If your car
misses and stalls even after you have refilled the car engine, it could be a result
of misfueling. Followings are some steps to guide you how to clear your car
engine and fuel drainage system of contaminated fuel.

First lift the
bonnet or hood. You may have to remove the air filter housing to discover the
fuel filter. Use a ring spanner or screwdriver to remove the securing screws from fuel lines.

Next step for
you is to drain the fuel tank. Usually all fuel tanks have minimum two fuel
lines attached. All modern cars feature anti-siphon devices stuck below the
filler cap. You can use the car fuel pump to remove unsuitable fuel. Determine
if your engine uses an electrical or mechanical fuel pump. The later type is
bolted onto the cylinder head or engine block. Electrical pumps are usually
submerged in the fuel, lying at the bottom of car tank.

If your car has
an electrical fuel pump, you will be able to short circuit a wire from blower
circuit or horn into electric fuel pump circuit after removal of two fuses. The
pump will immediately clear out the fuel line into a Pepsi type of bottle which
requires being at the end of the line. If this procedure is not working, then
take a bottle filled up with petrol and use the thinnest needle to make a hole
so that near bottom is visible. Have someone to crank the engine while you
allow the stream of petrol to drop out of the hole over the carburettor.

When the engine
will start and run on the fine stream, it will stop cranking. The engine will
power the fuel pump and proceed to run, thereby draining the tank. In case your
car has a mechanical pump, you have to disconnect the line on the side which is
not hooked to the filter; otherwise the pump won’t be able to function
properly.

When the line
stops pumping, refill the tank with right fuel and put all back in their
place.

Step 6
Crank the engine for not more than 30 seconds until it takes a start or
the starter will burn out. Allow the starter to cool for two or three minutes
after each start. You may still experience a slight miss till the last drop of
fuel is expended. However, professional wrongfuel help is available if you lack confidence to do all these.
