I think the presumption was that the winter additives might cause the fuel itself to be more sensitive to heat under the hood. If I had been in a similar traffic situation to what I experienced that day during recent months (on much cooler days), I would have probably had a hard time keeping her running. I was amazed that I experienced no issues whatsoever. I changed my fuel filter as well with no effect.

I posted the problem last year and the best I could come up with was fuel issues. I found a small leak where air seamed to be being drawn into the small clear filter I have just before the carb. That didn't seem to fix it. I pulled the big filter I have back between the tank and pump and found some grit. I cleaned the filter and it worked better. Could it have been a fresh tank of 'summer' gas. I don't know, but it has been doing it again and we're coming out of winter. Hummm. I checked the filter and again some dirt was found. I'm replacing the element this time. Two years and about 10k miles.
One person suggested that my filter was too restrictive. I looked it up and the 10 micron element is intended for carbs. Anyway I don't know where to find a less restrictive element for my Summit Racing SUM-G1501 filter.
