Subject:Re: 1985 1.9 Hesitation at higher RPM (kind of long)

Thank you all for your replies.

1. David - Yes I should have thought of replacing the fuel filter at the
same time - kinda narrow minded on my part - I got wrapped up in the tank
replacement and didn't think.

2. Richard - that is exactly one of the problems I was having before but on
the passenger side. I inspected the driver's side and it looked OK - maybe
I'll apply some sort of sealant around there to be sure.

3. Mark - thanks I will check that test out in the Bentley

4. Neil - we've talked but again thank you for your replies as well.

Work has kept me busy and I didn't have a chance to look into it last
night. I did throw a bottle of heat into the tank to see if that might help
but it did not. On the way to work I still couldn't get past 50mph. Seems
to Dog out a bit lower than I thought - between 22k rpm and 30k rpm. If I
give it more than 1/4 - 1/2 accelerator she'll bog right down.

Thank you all again I will look at all of your suggestions.
