Talking There's A Fungus Among Us

THANX ! .

This car came to me with the very worst case of fuel fungus I've ever seen or heard about thanks to the stupid hippies who ran it into the ground before I got it .

I've had it literally shudder to a halt in traffic a few times, most notably once in front of a Korean Church on a Sunday, I was in my grubbies, the nice, impeccably dressed Koreans all came out concerned as I barely coasted to a halt most of the way 'round a corner, barely out of traffic . they wanted to help me push the car or give me money etc., embarrassing but I said 'no thanx, I have this coverd THANK YOU!' and set right to work .

I carry spare filters and intake screens, I'm now down to very fine soft black powdery stuff .

I'm crippled to replacing the tank really isn't an option ~ I removed the cleaned the intake screen a few times, it's HOSPITAL CLEAN now and I hate fuel baths .

I was just worried is all .
