    Litle help please car people. :)

    OK, I have been having some fuel problems with my van. When I start it unless I have more than 1/2 of a tank on gas, I have to tap the gas petal a few times to get it to start. (If I have a quarter tank of of gas or less I have a really hard time starting.) After I get the van started I have no problems. I think the problem is think I have some bad/ dirty gas in the tank. I have been using this hoping that it would help flush the tank out. (I'm not sure if that is a stupid idea.) So I'm looking for opinions until I can get my van into the shop in a week or two.

    Other info that might be helpful:
    1) My gas gauge works pretty much-- I have a 20 gallon tank when it reads a 1/4 tank it takes 15 gallon to fill up.



    2) I had my fuel pump replaced in late fall of last year.... after I got my van back if I made a hard right turn and accelerated quickly my van would sputter and a cloud of white would come out of my exhaust, I assumed that moisture got into my tank while they where changing my fuel pump, so I ran some line dry stuff through it and it worked alright I think although I might just not be taking hard right turns and accelerating quickly like I used too.

    I appreciate any help if you have a question I'll try to answer it.
