I'd be inclined to say fuel too. I once had similar behavior in the
Europa, caused by the "rock strainer" in the fuel pump inlet fitting
clogging up. (I don't remember now whether bad gas had something to do
with it, but I think it might have, since I had a can of denatured
alcohol in the boot which I used to clean out the filter while parked at
the shoulder of I-5.)
Could the fuel pump be pulling enough current trying to pump through a
clogged inlet filter that it would make the solenoid sound funny?
