Re: [AMC-list] BBD Carb Issues

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fuel has been progressively getting worse as more states are putting alcohol in (and increasing the quantity. They are allowing up to 20% here for "winter" fuel) That is stirring up the crud in the tank and pushing it forward. The only real defense is additives that counteract the alcohol damage (just think what it's doing to your poor car's liver.... uh carb!) AND a super quality filter before the fuel pump.

I'm skeptical about problems with the gasoline itself, in any car that's run
regularly enough to go through a tank every month or so. There's zillions of
cars on the road without fuel problems.
 
My guess is that is crap in the tank. There's no reason to believe that you
can ignore a gas tank for 20, 30, 40 years and not expect problems. Water,
rust, leaves, bugs, crud, ... soaking in a nasty strong solvent (gasoline)
and run through a hot carburetor for 20+ years, yeah there's gonna be crap
in there.
