Well I did already buy some STARTRON. Good to know I bought the right
stuff. I re routed and replaced all the hoses, and got new injection
type clamps. It seemed to cure my bubbles problem, but now the car
feels low powered and only goes about 70mph. It was late by the time I
was done, and so it was too dark for pictures. I went on my 25 mile
test loop and it seemed much nicer drivability wise, except the lack of
power. In stop and go, it didn't feel like it was going to die. It
always did before. It used to have good power but would nose dive as it
would starve for fuel. Now I assume it has the fuel but now it has no
power.

My research tells me that since there is evidence of bugs, maybe my in
tank strainer is clogged. My problem with that is that it was fine
yesterday, but now it is clogged without even going anywhere? I just
don't think it would be instantaneous like that. I did dump about 2 oz
into my approx 1/4 tank of fuel. Now (from what I read) a biocide might
make the gunk go to the bottom and plug things up, but this STARTRON is
an enzyme that I read does not do it that way.

So, unless there are other ideas, I will swap the tank lines IN/OUT
tomorrow but I think I need more fuel first. Then that will tell me that
my strainer thing is nut clogged and I must have screwed something else up.
