After filling up at the gas station my vehicle would shake while driving. Then the next day I was driving and I heard a squeek and the engine light flickered and the oil light came on. I let it roll into a parking lot and parked it. I tried to turn it on again. It would just cranck, but not start. Is it possible that I put bad fuel in it? About a year ago I filled my lawnmore at the same station and it would not work. I had to dump the fuel and put some from another gas station to get it to start.

It could be bad fuel. Have you checked to see if it is getting fuel and spark to the engine? Also, will it start for a few seconds with starting fluid?

Let me know.

Remove one of the spark plugs and see if it is getting spark and see if it is wet with fuel before that. If it is wet, either there is no spark or the fuel you got won't burn. NOTE: The spark should be a hot blue snapping spark.
