I tried everything, I assumed like most of you it was gas related, swapped =

as still happening.
Decided to remove the fuel tank and clean it out inside, I found that the p=
revious owner had used RTV silicone to install the sending unit=85BINGO fou=
nd the problem it was gas all right.
Rather large bits of silicone floating around in the tank, one would get su=
cked 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 o=
ut of the fuel tank. http://singer.rambour.com/stuff/mini/mini_gas.jpg
Car was running fine again until yesterday, new problem, its a squeak/grind=
