It was gas in a gas can that sat out in the rain for at least a week.. so it had lots of water in it..

Yeah so clean gas.. injector cleaner in New gas but doesn't seem to be getting good gas.. can hear fuel pump come in when key is turn to on position... trys to start for a second then like not getting fuel

Okay I remove the fuel pump... Had pressure on the line when I disconnected it... took the old gas out wiped out the tank... Put the fuel pump back in Put new gas in... I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the key to on but it's acting like its starving for fuel... Is there a way to see if the fuel is getting to the injectors... Please help

Hey thanks for your help! Lol.. drained fuel line and rail and put it back together and she runs just fine
