has the car been run on WVO ?
The problem is the dealer will not fix things. They just keep replacing stuff till the problem goes away.
The tank needs to come out & be cleaned. The best way is to steam it. I have cleaned tanks by taking them to a factory with a large boiler (cannery) & steaming the tank for a day or 2.
The fuel lines could be blown out with compressed air.
replace filters & keep fingers crossed.

It could be a case of bugs in the tank. Has he cut a filter open?

Hope this helps !

Good Luck
