My ex girlfriend dumped cola in my gas tank. I did not know it and I drove it ten miles. It started sputtering and when I got home it stalled. Now it will not start. What do I need to do to get the soda out of there? What do I need to fix to get it running?

Hello, I am Danny.

With saving you the time of completely draining your gas tank I have something you might want to try first. There is a product called Seafoam you can purchase from your local auto parts stores. It is in a white can with red lettering (gas treatment-picture attached). Just pour into your gas tank. Hopefully you can just let it go through the existing soda/gasoline add just add fresh gas. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any other questions if needed. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
