The Quality
(and corruption) of the Fuel in the Tank cannot be discounted. The Worst Days to "Fill Up The Tank" at any Gas Station are always when one can see the presence of the Giant Tankers arriving to replenish the underground Fuel Tanks at such places. When the Suppliers are pumping in the New Fuel... they often manage to stir up enough turbulence to disturb the Residual Water Condensate, Dirt and Debris that will invariably either form up, collect and settle down within the Large Tanks... and this agitated Junk from the bottom of the Tank(s) may manage to pass through their overworked filtration systems.
This Stuff may wind up inside of the Average Gas Tanks... and bring in problems along with the New Fuel. Coupled with this is the presence of the addition of Ethanol that might accidentally wind up getting pumped into a Regular Gas Tank ...by an occasional accident of a
Bad Choice of Pumps. A thoughtful discussion with "The Lil' Woman" might reveal such an incident if she also adds Fuel in The Tank from time to time... :>)
Most Fuel Stations alert people to expect this with a
not so subtle warning posted here and there at the Pumps. Regardless... The Favorite Fuel & Water Emulsifier of Choice...is Chevron Techron. Without going Crazy....an occasional Heavy Dose of this stuff will eliminate occasional *Fuel Stalls* that these events might cause. Used Judiciously...it can lead to having a more responsive Engine as the stuff passes through the EFIs and cleans a bit of the Junk collecting around the Pintles to help make the Engine have a Bit More PEP.
