I always run a bottle of STP water remover ever couple of tanks cause 93 octane gas isn't bought as often....therefore sits in the ground ALOT ALOT ALOT longer than regular gas does, therefore you get some condesation! It's works....trust me!!!

That makes sence, and sounds like a good idea.. I'll give it a spin, but I don't think it would help out Zack much.. Unless STP makes a "undo whatever the hell I did to my car" additive..

I had a similar problem on my 92 Vette a while back. We were on our way to Dallas and I filled up at some little podunk town. Car started running a little rought under hard acceleration, and then kept dieing when I'd let it idle. I figured the opti had finally died since it had 70K miles on it so I left it at a shop in Dallas to do a new opti, cam and other mods. Got back to Tulsa and found a really good deal on a Z06 instead. Decided to bring the 92 back up and just replace the opti myself. Suprise suprise, when we went down to pick the 92 up, it started right up and ran great. It took another 3 months or so to sell it and it ran fine the entire time. Moral of the story is always try some good gas/fuel system cleaner if the car is running rough.

Creamy oil and white smoke, that sucks. Head gasket? You could save some dough and do the labor yourself. I feel your pain
