Did I fry my ENGINE ? Dumb Dumb Dumb 200 76

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe B. on  Thu Dec 6 08:25 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I was looking to empty all my gas cans from the garage and my brother in law told me that one of them HAD a mix of 2 stroke gas/oil and alcohol.

I didnt smell it but emptied all three cans into my car as I didnt think I had enough gas in the tank to get me to work for another day. It ran fine until I tried to go to work the next day. It started chugging real bad. It would drive but only about 3 mph. My brother told me what was in that unmarked can and I hit myself in the head. Did I just fry my engine? I went and got 8 gal. of gas and filled it after syphoning out the gunk that was in there. Ive now replaced the really badly fouled plugs and am goin to get a cap and rotor for it on fri. ( payday ) Do any of you BrickHeads know if Ive destroyed this car? This is the first time I havent had at least one running Volvo and have had to disgrace myself in the wifes Mini-Van.
