This weekend is the first time in about 8 months that i drove my 29 packard. It ran fine when parked. Before start up the fuel bowl on the vaccume fuel tank was clear fuel. I opened the valve started the car let it run for about 10 minutes and drove about a mile car shut off. The bowl was filled with a gray powdery substance. I cleaned it hoping to get back home but within 1 minute the car shut off again. The complete fuel system was cleaned and coated about 8 years ago,from gas tank to carb. The vaccume tank was restored from a guy in Texas. This is the second car i have had this problem with. Has anyone else had this problem? The picture is after 1 minute of running you can see the junk in the bottom.
