RE: Help! Coupe Quattro puking fuel

["Duff, Ian" <IDuff@charter.com>]

You need to call Christian Long and tell him where the gas dumped on his
Coupe was really destined for. Gas coming out of your Coupe, must be
related to the gas being dumped on his...

Sounds like one (or more) of the cylinders was not firing, just pushing
its fuel through, right out the exhaust. Hope it didn't kill the kitty.
