Bob, thank you for the help. :D  I have gotten injector cleaner in the past 
and worked great: will get some soon.  Three months is not long at all so 
real good chance of it being the case.  Only trouble is takes 220 miles or 
hopefully more to be sure.  

How much does the tank take until the edge of the fill neck?  Tank is 10.4
right but what about the rest?  Guess I could figure on 12 and be sure all 
was treated?


Thank you so very much!
