Low fuel pressure

What is your question?

2012 Hyundai Sonora turbo. I refueled my car and drove 30 miles. When I started my car back it struggled to start I have put in HEET and a fuel injection cleaner and runs better but still struggles when restarting Lose of power was at first till I put in the cleaner. Now just struggles to start every time unless I run a great distance. I have below half a tank Should I get high octane fuel and see if that helps or is there something else going on. I priced fuel pump and it's 600. Don't want to replace if that's not the problem. Are there any recalls on this vehicle that may cause thisr is there something

Hello, Yes, refill your tank with high octane fuel. That sounds like a case of bad fuel. A good rule of thumb, if possible, is to fuel at the same station every time. It took 30 miles for the problem to start, so give it 30 miles or more for the problem to subside. You can also disconnect the fuel line from the fuel pump, connect a hose, and run the pump to get the fuel out of the tank, then refill, but that really is a lot of work that may not be necessary.
