Purchased a 1970 GTO convertible in the spring of 1984 (back half being used as a chicken coop), intermittent fuel starvation problems under heavy acceleration...Started with the filter, fuel pump, carb, fuel lines...last item, hot tank the fuel tank at the local radiator shop......Found problem, dead rat in gas tank, under hard acceleration, the tail of this dead critter was getting sucked up in to the fuel pickup, thus causing the flow of fuel to stop, and the car to die...........


Scary but true..................
