Re: Fuel Problems.

Matthew, If your worried about water or other foreign matter in the 
tank. Jack the front of the car up just a little above level and the 
water or foreign matter will normally collect in the back of the 
tank.Then get a hose and siphon it out. Nothing messy to fool with. 
If you will run it into a bucket or pan you will see any contaminates.
I pulled out about 1/4 of a cup of water and residue from the tank.
As for your fuel starvation problem, That could be many places around 
the fuel system. If normal maintance isn't done,then it could be as 
easy as a fuel pump, fuel screen,fuel filter, injector seals where 
the cylinder is sucking more air than it should. Another place could 
be the adjustment of the air flow meter, and the adjustment of the 
Primary pressure regulator. You could also have filter screens in the 
injectors stopped up if injector cleaners haven't been run thru the 
gas ever so often. Hope this helps. 
I think the envelope your talking about is the filter screen on the 
end of the pick up hose going to the fuel pump. If it's clean, leave 
it there it's not your problem.
