Attention Oregon/Washington (injector failure, bad gas)

I was at acura today, and the forman told me that there was a fuel contamination in the last couple of months in oregon and washington.. DOOD get your cars scanned for the Injector codes. Take pre-emptive action to clean your injectors. im out 1k to replace them cause they went out on me.
BTW does anyone know how to pressure clean injectors?

That is quite possibly the biggest pile of crap I've heard today.

Dont forget to tell the forman to change your winshield wiper fluid while he's got your car in the shop.

This just happened to me in Michigan. They said it normally would not be covered but they did not tell acura it was from the gas. So they covered the injectors ($700) but (160) to flush the fuel system i had to cover and would be on a seperate bill that acura will not see.

i dont know. im pissed.
