Thanks for all the replies. In the past I've used Sta Bil in everything, boats, lawnmowers, quads, weed wackers. I even yell at the guys at work if they don't use it, its supposed to work in diesel as well which I never knew. Never had a problem before. I've always kept an eye out for tankers at the gas station and avoided them for all the reasons stated. (if I'm home and I get an
oil delivery I'll even shut the
oil burner down, I know a bit anal !!) but who's to say one didn't leave there 5 minutes before I got there. I'm going to try that one suggestion about hooking up a 5 gal can of new gas to the fuel pump since I do have the mechanical one and not an electric one. Hopefully I'll get to the bottom of this over the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm afraid to take the car out for fear I'll get stuck some where which brings up a good point. Is it possible to tow these cars or should you ask for a flatbed right off the bat.
I think I'll go for a new gas filter and plugs too while I'm at it. Anybody know what the gap is for a 302 ?
Thanks
