Default fuel problem update

Update on reported fuel issue in April;

I've just returned from a month out of the country and took my BDR out for my first run since San Marcos. I went North and found some great roads but still had some San Marcos fuel in the tank and after she warmed up the fuel 'starvation" issue reared it's ugly head again. I found a auto parts store and bought a bottle of Lucas Fuel Additive and filled up with some Shell 93. The combination was pure magic! The krap they called fuel in San Marcos was the issue. However since our government is going to continue to push corn as fuel I'm still going to install a phenolic spacer and keep a bottle of Lucas in my trunk . After the problem disappeared I heard my muffler hitting the road after a bump or dip. I pulled over under a shade tree and broke out the duct tape for a quick repair to the rubber mounting bracket and was almost laughing because I was so happy the fuel "starvation" issue was behind me.

See ya soon!
