Mechanic: Signs of Bad Gasoline

The WPTV Contact 5 Investigators wanted to know what was inside the gas you are putting in your car. To find out the team scoured through data from the Florida Department of Agriculture, shadowed a gas station inspector from the state, took a visit to a state testing lab and even took their own samples. What is "bad gas" and what can it do to your car? This mechanic spoke with the Contact 5 Investigators. Watch the video above for more information and log on to www.wptv.com for the complete story.

Would you mind e-mailing the location of where you think you purchased the gasoline? Thanks! LWalsh@wptv.com

Thanks so much for this. I'm a female and fillled my Dodge Ram conversion van with what I know now to have been bad gasoline. This was a month ago and I'm still having problems with it. I'll never go to a Citgao ever again. Everything the guy in the video had described, is actually what I've been experiencing. Especially the "ping Pong, knocking" noises and "vibrations." You're a very knowledgeable mechanic!!!!
