Oxygen getting into the fuel causing it to stop running! Now this is
some imagination. It is possible the screen in the tank is clogged which
still requires a tank replacement. Best choice is a new tank, with all
the vapor hoses etc. Bus Depot to the rescue. Make sure to match up the
fuel filler pipes etc. After the new tank, get rid of the small plastic
filter before the pump and use the 86+ filters after the pump.

Subject: In Tucumcari now

Ok, found Danny's Volks Stuff in Amarillo, they replaced the fuel filter
and pump, said there is a leak in the gas tank somewhere, it is supposed
to be a closed system and oxygen is getting in? They didn't have a tank,
so I went on my merry way towards Tucumcari, and 60 miles out of
Amarillo it coughed, just once. It did it a few more times between there
and Tucumcari, so I stopped. As I was getting off the freeway, I saw a
vanagon and flagged him down. He said he knows  somebody that works on
them and will have him call me. I got a campsite for the night, and will
head for Albuquerque tomorrow morning hopefully. I know there are
listers there that I may be calling on. Hopefully somebody can figure
out what the heck is going on. I almost feel like throwing up my hands
and going home, then I remember I sold my house!! lol

Never regret.
If it's good, it's wonderful.
If it's bad, it's experience.
