Oxygen getting into the fuel causing it to stop running! Now this is some imagination. It is possible the screen in the tank is clogged which still requires a tank replacement. Best choice is a new tank, with all the vapor hoses etc. Bus Depot to the rescue. Make sure to match up the fuel filler pipes etc. After the new tank, get rid of the small plastic filter before the pump and use the 86+ filters after the pump.

They didn't have a tank, so I went on my merry way towards Tucumcari, and 60 miles out of Amarillo it coughed, just once. It did it a few more times between there and Tucumcari, so I stopped. As I was getting off the freeway, I saw a vanagon and flagged him down. He said he knows somebody that works on them and will have him call me. I got a campsite for the night, and will head for Albuquerque tomorrow morning hopefully. I know there are listers there that I may be calling on. Hopefully somebody can figure out what the heck is going on. I almost feel like throwing up my hands and going home, then I remember I sold my house!! lol
