Re: engine dies on hot day

[audistuff@juno.com (Paul R Anderson)]

On my 85 5000, I was driving across Nebraska with a low tank of fuel with
the cornbelt mandatory 10% ethanol.  It started to cut out on me and I
made
it to the next truck stop where I filled it with fuel and had to wait
about a half
hour to get it going.  (Tried everything, bleeding fuel lines, etc.)  It
was quite hot
as it was mid-June.  Two and a half years later, the pump died.  
My questions to you would be:

Is there any alcohol in your fuel?
How full is your fuel tank?

Hope this helps.  I'm curious to read other responses.
