Aaaah yes ... the bad fuel problem-)
Yes, it can cause damage to the engine. Yes, it can damage a sensor.
Solution: go to an auto parts store that can check error codes. Then, the error code will say which sensor is bad.
Most likey it's these sensors (with estimated prices): MAP - $30 Oxygen - $20 and last (not a sensor) egr (valve) - $80 fuel injector - $70 each spark plugs - $2-15 fuel filter - $8

Can bad fuel damage an Oxygen sensor?
Contaminated fuel will certainly damage an 02 sensor and the cat as well. Yes. O2 sensors do wear out even under ideal conditions but bad fuel, racing fuel, fuel with lead accelerate the deterioating effects the exhaust gases & particles have on the sensor. Even when there is no sign of a problem it's not a bad idea to replace the O2 sensors at 60k or 70k as they can degrade slowly over time and impact the efficiency of the engine without being noticeable.
Will bad oxygen sensors cause power loss?
A bad oxygen sensor can cause power loss, reduced fuel economy and damage to your catalytic converter.
What are the side effects if the map sensor is bad?
The computer can deliver the wrong amount of fuel resulting in poor performance, wasted fuel or valve damage, and that's IF it even runs at all.
What are the symptoms of a bad fuel speed sensor?
Fuel speed sensor? Try again, need more info.
Does a 1991 camaro rs have a gas sensor and if it goes bad where are they located?
Gas sensor? Not sure what you mean, could it be a Fuel gauge sensor? Oxygen sensor? Fuel pressure regulator?
What causes the air-fuel mixture to become too rich?
bad or misreading MAP or MAF sensors, bad ECT sensor, bad TPS sensor, stuck open fuel injector, or problem with fuel system, faulty parameters set in ECU or bad ECU.
What causes the air fuel mixture to become too rich?
bad or misreading MAP or MAF sensors, bad ECT sensor, bad TPS sensor, stuck open fuel injector, or problem with fuel system, faulty parameters set in ECU or bad ECU.
Can a bad crank sensor cause fuel pump to fail?
No.
5.3 Chevy black smoke high fuel consumption?
Bad fuel pressure regulator, Map. sensor not working or the vacuum line is bad or off of the sensor. You did not say what year it is.
What will a bad mass air flow sensor cause?
What will a bad mass air flow sensor cause? Mass Air flow sensor regulates amount of air coming in to the amount of fuel being used. If this sensor is bad you would have either a overly rich or lean fuel condition. Check the fuel pump as mass air flow sensor has no moving parts and rarely goes out.
1997 dodge ram fuel pumptruck acts as if the fuel pump is bad i sprayed carb cleaner in fuel injecters and it ran so i pumped most of the gas out i tryed to startit and it ran perfect for 10 minits?
sounds like you have a bad cam position sensor,a clogged fuel filter,or a bad fuel pump sounds like you have a bad cam position sensor,a clogged fuel filter,or a bad fuel pump
What causes raw fuel to come out the exhaust manifold?
mass air sensor or purge valve sensor could be a bad fuel pressure regulator
