Actually it'll be the fuel filter in my case. I'd
drained it before and gotten fuel and water out,
thinking I'd gotten all the water out. Turns out
there was more in there. I pulled the fuel filter
element today an there was about a quart of water
and sludge in there, so I'm getting a new filter
(or two).
