Tossed it. Didn't think to perform an autopsy on it. I was just looking at the procedure to remove the tank, and for the Digifant it seems there is a return line which indicates that the fuel system is a loop -- therefore vapor lock should not happen? I suppose there could be some vaporization in the lines in the engine compartment, which could cause some hesitation for a minute or two? Sound plausible? Or is something else going on? Someone suggested a bit of water in the fuel. Again possible, it's been sitting with a low fuel level for a while. But wouldn't the filter grab that? Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL |
