I had the SDL missing on the highway, like a gas engine. Most thought it was the tank filter. Well, I was not about to change the tank filter unless I was at the end of my options. Primary and secondary and the problem was eliminated.
Well, if I find no loose conections, no cracked rubber lines and driving it to office without the fuel cap doesn't solve it I will replace the secondary filter too. This is agrivating..........

It doesn't miss, just has an abrupt loss of power every ten minutes of 60+ MPH driving. Only resolved by slowing down a LOT or stopping with motor running, then its fine for another 10 minutes. Power loss is steady as long as I keep going and don't do anything.
