I started the engine several times, and almost immediately, it was running extra lean andshopwing low fuel pressure. I presumed the filter was probably clogged. Since the tank should have been exceptionally clean after applying the POR15 liner, I wondered if the liner had dissolved due to the alcohol content of our modern gasolines. I fumbled around until I found a light source to inspect the inside of the tank. I discovered that I was suffering not from liner dissolution or clogged filter, but rather a dearth of fuel. Some of those tests must have burned VERY rich.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_CYrYDm4AI4w\/S_9gSkdhVYI\/AAAAAAAAAH0\/XZyRSLE2Ev0\/s1600\/IMG_0135.JPG\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_CYrYDm4AI4w\/S_9gSkdhVYI\/AAAAAAAAAH0\/XZyRSLE2Ev0\/s1600\/IMG_0135.JPG\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_CYrYDm4AI4w\/S_9gSkdhVYI\/AAAAAAAAAH0\/XZyRSLE2Ev0\/s320\/IMG_0135.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Besides the other fuel tank bracket, you can see where I elected to put the obnoxiously loud airhorn.
