I ran into a problem with the tank rusting and flaking off. It caused me all kinds of grief. It would run fine at idle and low speeds, but when it demanded more fuel it cut out really bad. It seemed the injectors were clogged or the fuel filter was dirty. I ended up having it acid dipped and epoxy coated to cure it. And then I sent the injectors in to be cleaned.

Runs fine now.
Thanks for the ideas. I hope I won't have to go so far as to remove my tank. Since I haven't replaced any of the fuel filters in many years, I'll start with that and while I'm at it, I'll check out the entire fuel line and see if, as you say, there are parts higher than the tank.

Thanks
