Hi,

 Thought I would come back with a status report on the mini that was not =
running on freeway that I asked about a month ago, remember that far =
back ? :)

 I tried everything, I assumed like most of you it was gas related, =
swapped out fuel pump, swapped out fuel lines, pulled the distributor =
and checked its advance curve and put in optical points, back to the =
fuel system as it was still happening.

 Decided to remove the fuel tank and clean it out inside, I found that =
the previous owner had used RTV silicone to install the sending =
unit=85BINGO found the problem it was gas all right.

 Rather large bits of silicone floating around in the tank, one would =
get sucked into the fuel pickup and stop the fuel flow=85car would shut =
down and silicone would float away to come back later.  Here is a pic oh =
what came out of the fuel tank.   =
