Well you may be a surprised as I am to find that since  all of the ARCO gas
is out of my tank by the third tankful, I have driven 250 miles with no
cutting out.

Not once did the engine quit while cruising the freeway like it did two
weeks ago.
it did stall while idling after sitting four days- maybe this was the last
of the water being sucked in that settled to the bottom.

I am now only using alcohol-free gas,Texaco, Shell, Chevron, etc. but not
ARCO.

All of their grades of gas have 10% alcohol. Maybe that's really 10 percent
water, of some really low proof alcohol.

At any rate I'm thru with using Alaskan North slope refined crude. There
must be some ice and snow getting into the wells.

I like a nice full tank of Arabica!! ( I hate that robusto stuff!!)
Thanks again for all who helped me troubleshoot it.
At least now io know all my FI stuff is OK.
