Bob - I'm having the same problem and will be adding a filter before the regulator. It happened when I was trying to start the car Thursday night to load up for Cedar Falls...filled # 7 cylinder with fuel, along with the crankcase. What filter did you use? Is it a finer mesh than the one at the rear of the car? Thanks.
