Thread-topic: | Possible contaminates in gas tank |
FWIW, I took a trip up the CA north coast last weekend, and had similar issues. I think gasahol causes a minor vapor lock when you sit and/or when the engine loads up; esp. if it's warm/hot.

When I pulled off the highway and made my way to a traffic light I had to sit through 2 cycles when it suddenly started to run rough and stalled. I was able to restart but it continued running rough and then settled in. The gas gauge red more than 1/4. I don't have a fuel filter and wonder if there might be something in the bottom of my tank. So: Is a filter recommended, if so which one and how does one clean out a tank? Thanks for your help.
