[T2] [Q] Running the gas tank dry...

Yup, I did it. Ran her completely dry. (Thought I had *just* enough miles
in the tank to get to the gas station, but...)

Anyway, filled up and now my '71 Westy is running rough. Figure that even
though the tank was internally "treated/sealed" during restoration, there
must be some junk still in the tank.

So, the plan is to run a gallon or so of non-ethanol gas from the tank
through the fuel line and into a bucket. Next, replace the fuel filter and
call the corrective action done.

Thoughts?

David
