Default bought bad gas FLHTCUI

Need help.Filled up w/ 93 Octane and seems to come from bad fuel from a BP Gas Station. Bike was running fine before filling up. 5 miles later all hell breaks loose. Sputtering,backfiring and stumbling. How to drain fuel with F.I.? Thanks. BP is no help and not willing to be any assistance with this.

Easiest way , remove the cross over hose, and then open the cap so it flows better, you can prob just hold a finger over the tube on the tank and let the gas flow from the hose, and then I would do the other side just to be sure you got it all out. (shake the bike around too).

Then, go get some good stuff somewhere, put 1/4-1/2 gallon in, and shake the bike up, then repeat the drain method. Fill it up and run a full tank of it till your on empty again.

Also I would let the FI prime 2 or 3 times then start the bike .

Lastly, file a complaint with BP and the city/state you got the gas in!
