Wd40 white lithium in gas tank

[Jblank182]

So I dumbly put wd40 white lithium grease in my gas tank. I dissolved the grease with mineral spirits and paint thinner. I pumped all the dissolved grease out and most of the gas/mineral spirit mixture. I'm having detonation issues. I was a ke to start my car earlier while the lithium grease was still in the line. Any ideas on how I should go about this? Should I pump all the fluid out if my gas tank put new gas in and try to turn over?

Does the car currently run?

If so, pump all remaining fuel out of the tank and lines.
Replace the fuel filter.
Add New Gas

Welcome to stangnet
Part of the problem is we have no idea what you are working on.

Pumped all gas out. Wouldn't the mineral spirits go through the filter and clean out any grease that's blocking it? I have a code to change my throttle position sensor so I'm gonna do that and see what I get. Doesn't run now after I jumped my car. When I jumped it it ran. Was smooth idle then all off a sudden got real choppy and stalled out. I'm sure it has something to do with my tps and O2 sensor. It's a 96

A 1996 chrysler sebring jx
I'm changing out the throttle position sensor
I'm sure that's what it is
And running it so rough finally just blew the thing

You should probably try a Chrysler site and troubleshoot it through.

Yeah def I saw a post about a dude that ran his car on paint thinner and just subscribe. But most combustion engines are similar. Just location different. I think it's the TPS not getting enough air with the injection.
Or I'm not injecting evenly so it won't combust

I wouldn't pretend to know what troubleshooting steps to give you to tell you how to confirm that theory. Different EEC, different voltages and possibly PWM signals along with wire colors, harness, etc..

As far as a fuel system goes it seems pretty standard on the components you'll need. It it's not the pump, filter, or injectors. Its gotta be something electric. In theory
