Road Trip From Hell (long)

EF- it looks like your comment was spot-on- the tons of black crud
coming from the fuel
filter may have come from that filter you spoke of. I'll pass that along
to my friend- thanks,
it is appreciated.

Black carbon and/or very small metallic pieces in a fuel filter may actually
be parts of that bad fuel pump.  I just pulled out my fuel filter and found
similar debris, and I know my fuel pump is going bad...

Interesting story, by the way.  Driving long hours on the highway also has a
mysterious ability to "clean out" an engine and improve performance, which
may partially explain why the car drove a little better each day.  Your
friend is very lucky to have guys like you pick up his horrible car.
