Bad gas

I was having similar problems with gas around Laconia area several years back.
I switched to Irving’s fuel for both my Diesel truck and cars and have had no problems since. I specifically had problems at the Z1 on 106 in Concord and the Gilford Mobil. And Irving just happens to be one of the more stable priced stations around.
Also remember that your lower end gas stations like Cumberland Farms and such tend to get the cheaper grade of fuel from an article posted in Consumer reports. While your Mobile and Exxon dealers get what is called the top of the barrel. Not sure if the station in question is a brand name dealer or not.
Either way it’s a bummer because I have heard it’s not a cheap fix to clean out the fuel system unless they have come up with an additive that will stabilize the already bad fuel while it is in your system.
