If the bad gas was a water/gas mix, there is probably still some residual water, which sits at the bottom of the tank. Add a bottle of fuel dryer per directions, which should say it's Ethanol, to absorb the remaining water. Get it running and drive it a 100 miles or so, just don't shut it off till your home. This may need to be repeated. 

Cant tell if you are in a cold area, try to do this when above freezing.

I’m new the Mini Forums I’ve only owned JDM. 

I need some help with my mini any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

My 09 Mini Cooper S was running great until I got bad gas so I’ve been having an issue starting but once it’s started it runs great. 

Car will crank but not turn over  

Things I already did:

1. Fuel Filter 
2. Fuel Pump 
3. Tested my fuses 
4. Crank sensor 
5. Tested my fuel pressure
