Hi Rob,

Fuel filter is as new as the new pump. Filter is the large metal cylinder downstream from the pump.  I just filled up with a 91 octane mid-grade gas this morning, and I was at 90 miles from full at the start of the issue. I normally use premium and fill up after 200 to 220 miles (1/4 tank) and average about 18-19.5 mpg.  

I don't rule out bad gas or a questionable fuel tank. Gotta get to the bottom of this Temp II sensor first, and maybe the fuel pressure regulator.

Thanks,

Skip
