Major miss?
2004 F150 Screw Lariat. All of a sudden, it has this terrible miss. The whole truck is vibrating and barely running. No check engine light. Is it possible I got bad gas? Problem is, I did not recently refill. I am at a quarter tank?

It has been confirmed that I have water in the gas. I have approximately an 1/8th of a tank left. I will call the dealer in the morning to see if they can pump it out, or if I can add an additive to burn it out.

Keep it above 1/4 full during winter, and use a bottle of gasline antifreeze (or cup-full of methyl hydrate) at each fill up December to March. I had this problem after an oil change in a heated garage with low fuel, and then when you drive back into the cold, condensation in the tank waters down the gas...easier to just keep the tank close to fulll most of the time in Winter. Good luck!
