Id go with water.

What sunoco station was it?

Dont forget, the fuel we have now, isnt fuel we had last year.

Running regular in your formy, wouldnt give you that kind of trouble.

Were using a E10 fuel in NJ now (10% Ethanol) that reacts VERY badly with water. A small amount of water in your tank (Or the under ground storage tank) will ruin the fuel. The term is "Phase seperation". The ethanol strips away from the gasoline when water is introduced thus leaving a really low octane non burnable muck. It will be really cloudy and can clog injectors, filters, etc.

Being we just got a TON of rain recently, id bet on that. If the station got a delivery in the rain, its very probable.

Id change your filter and look at what comes out.

Try throwing some iso-dry in the tank or something.

Hope it clears up for ya.

EDIT: and for the same rainy reason it could be a opti problem ;x
