Thanks, Since I've recently replaced the fuel tank, all the hoses and grommets and lines and FP I'm gonna assume, unless i have bad fuel, that the fuel supply is not the issue. I'm wondering though if the fuel pressure regulator can be intermittent ? OR if it just goes all at once ? My understanding is that when it goes the engine will run very rich as a result of the increase in pressure. On 12/7/16 9:41 AM, Don Hanson wrote: > > Water in the gas tank?
