[Spits] Sputtering when hot above 50 mph

[Roger Elliott]

Hi Greg,

Fuel filters are a good start.  I would also check all of the rubber 
hoses under the car.  My wife's 250 had gas problems - I chased it all 
over the place - New filter, new fuel pump.  Finally saw one of the 
rubber lines had a kink in it.  It must have been bent in the same place 
for years, but it finally got soft enough that when there was suction 
through the line it would collapse.  I suspect it could be affected by 
heat as well.
