Tossed it.  Didn't think to perform an autopsy on it.

I was just looking at the procedure to remove the tank, and for the
Digifant it seems there is a return line which indicates that the fuel
system is a loop -- therefore vapor lock should not happen?  I suppose
there could be some vaporization in the lines in the engine
compartment, which could cause some hesitation for a minute or two?
Sound plausible?  Or is something else going on?

Someone suggested a bit of water in the fuel.  Again possible, it's
been sitting with a low fuel level for a while.  But wouldn't the
filter grab that?
