I accidentally put an oil stabilizer (Lucas) in the gas tank. Tell me how to clean it up.

A whole Quart ? Thats Not Good.

You need to drain the tank.

1. The rear seat lifts up. You can access the low pressure fuel pump on the top of the gas tank. Remove it and siphon the gas out.

OR

2. Siphon the gas out Via the fuel filler neck old school. There is a trick to the fuel fill flap anti siphon gate but thats the easier route. You just gotta dispose of the contaminated fuel. Have a 5 gallon can of fresh gas to refill.

Dont Drive it imho. You can do more harm than good.

Like MacGyver said you need to drain it before ever starting it again or you'll possibly roast the motor. Don't even try and turn it over, keep the tainted fuel from entering the pump and your fuel lines. It's not hard to get to the tank, the access cap is right under the rear seats. A few videos on youtube show the process.

It is 6 oz of an additive that does not belong in a fuel system. I say drain it but I would call a Nissan dealer or your local mechanic to be certain.

Just saw this post and wanted to ask about fuel tank access. Am I able to access the fuel pump/filter by lifting rear seat as well? I need a new fuel filter.

The fuel tank has a pick up filter. There is no fuel filter like in other cars.

To get to the tank pump which is the low pressure fuel pump. You are correct. You take out the rear lower seat.

Thanks! Is the pickup filter inside the tank?

 

[Macgyver]

Yes but its nothing but a fine mesh that usually doesnt clog unless you have really dirty gas where you get gas from.
