Crazy sh&@! Ok, I blew out my lines and flushed it all. I took off my fuel bowls and checked everything. It all looked fine, nothing came out at all. I did have some crap in the vent line on the fuel cell, but nothing to freak about.

I fired it up and it did the same crap. At this point I went from being cool to boarderline nuts! I decided to take the entire fuel line out and filter, pump etc. I got as far as removing the fuel line. (The part from my pump is braided then to the fire wall it is tubing.) I too the tubing line down and was about to pull it out, which would have bent it to crap. Then I noticed some black stuff barely coming out of the end of the line. Turns out it was fuel cell foam.

Seriously, I really didnt imagine that the problem was foam. I checked it you when it was brought up, but I dont think I really believed it was the problem. But sure enough, put it all back together and and raced this weekend. I went 8 rounds counting the time trials with no problem with the fuel. I did toast my trans in the last run, but that is another story!

Thanks for the help guys, I was about to push the damn thing off a cliff. Trust me that is not small task here in Nebraska where we dont have any cliffs!
