Hi,

I had to get my head gasket replaced in my van, I then drove over 1500k without issue. Now after 10 dollars of cheap petrol the engine is spluttering and loosing power. Can I just change the fuel filter to resolve the problem?

I have refilled the fuel tank with octane boosters added but this hasn't helped.

Any ideas?

Go to the fuel tank they'll be steel fuel lines there-follow it back to the engine you will run right into it
