I took the Suburban for a test run today to try to duplicate the problem. It ran great for 40 miles. Have no idea if/when it will screw up again.

Before I left I checked over all ignition and plug wires. No loose connection. I ran some fine sandpaper over the rotor contacts but I don't think it needed it.

My theory now is there was still some moisture in the tank after I pumped out all the pick up would reach. While sloshing around in the tank while on the highway some of it gets sloshed up into the pick up. Sound possible?

Seems like I have read of a product that will absorb moisture in a tank and make it harmless. Anyone know what it would be?
