Try draining tank first if there is a drain plug. If no drain plug you will have to drop tank to empty it. Once tank is empty put in 2 gallons / 10 Litres of fuel and add a quart or 1 Litre of denatured alcohol or methyated spirits. The alcohol will mix with any water and consequently disperse through the fuel which will then be burnt normaly in the engine. When most of this mix is used up fill tank and add anothet pint of denatured alcohol to mix with any remaining water.

My 1998nissan sentra 4 cyl. 5 speed transwas running fine stopped at light, engine slowly died will not start tries to but backfires in engine not able to start it again

change your fuel filter and get in the habit of pouring an entire bottle of fuel injector cleaner once a month as you fill the tank , pour in the bottle before putting gas for best mixing... also pour a bottle of %70 isoprophil alcohol in the gas tank to rid of all the water at the bottom if your gas tank since condensation occurs nightly...
All this , because you said "it SLOWLY died"

Run out of gas and put some watery gas in the tank, it cut off 3mins later

Just plain silly. Remove gas tank, drain and dry. Replace fuel filter. Fill gas tank with 5 gallons of fresh gas. Add a bottle of water remover to tank then start and drive. Good luck.

I have a 2006 Suzuki Forenza. I stopped today to put gas in the car and as I was pulling out from the gas station, my check engine light came on and started blinking. I just had new plugs put in, new...

was the car running fine, before you put the new gas in the car, if the answer is yes, then , i would say , there is a chance that you could have got some water in your gas where ever you got it. " sometimes at gas stations, when the fuel runs low in their under ground tanks, they sweat and draw moisture, and then when a person pumps the gas , the water/ moisture goes into the customers gas tank, i would put 1-2 bottles of heet, into the gas tank to remove the water, that is if this is the case, after you do this, hope fully the engine will run fine, if it does not, then i would have someone to hook up a code tester, to the aldl link, to see what trouble codes have ben picked up by the computer, hopefully the problem will go away with the heet installed, hope that this information has helped you. you can buy the heet at walmart , or at a auto part store. p.s. try 1 bottle of heet first, and then if you need to add the 2nd bottle then you can, but see how it runs on only 1 bottle of heet first.

Every thing has been checked - new plugs, sensor, pump, injectors all working fine - but the car turns over just won't fire - Could bad gas cause this? - Car was running fine turned off at work came out 8...

I would suspect water in the gas, as the injection treatment wouldn't affect it like this. Take a sample of the gas from the test port on the fuel rail that's on the intake manifold. You should be able to see if there's water in the gas.

I have a 2005 Ford Five Hundred and when the weather gets below freezing there seems to be water that condenses in the fuel tank and once it sits for a while it will not start, have to put a bottle of HEAT...

I doubt water is your problem. Gas with ethanol is at least 10% alcohol. So a half tank of ethanol gas has a zillion times more alcohol than a bottle of heat.

Acts like i ran out of gas but just filled up.

Did you get gas while the fill truck was putting fuel in the ground?
You may have pick up water from the bottom of the delivery tank.
Change your gas filter and put a bottle of dry gas in your tank to dry up the water.

When i put in gas car spits and spudders clears out untill gas agian

Sound to me like you have water in the bottom of your fuel tank. when you fill it the water is mixed with the gas until it settles. put some gas line antifreeze into the fuel tank, may take several bottles. but this should help. if not you will have to have tank taken off and drained.
