Default RTV in the fuel line????

My Cobra did the same thing about two years ago. It was RTV in the fuel tank that worked it's way into the fuel line and plugged up the fuel filter. I have a filter between the tank and fuel pump. Long thin strings of jelly RTV. I guess it came from the RTV that was used to seal the fuel sending unit. It took two years to plug it up and stop the motor. Check all the places ( filters, pumps, etc ) that trash can accumulate. If you can, blow air thru the lines to clean them out. Small problems, easy to fix but hard to find!
