I've seen water in fuel act that way in carb vehicles.

It will settle to the bottom of the tank when the vehicle is not moving. Then when driving mix into the gasoline when driving. Under a load the water will accumulate on the filter screen blocking the gasoline. After it sits for a while the water will settle out and down to the tank or in the lines.

You won't find any water in samples taken at the carb since the filter is blocking it. Maybe why the Seafoam seemed to help a little. May have to tank.

It will drive you crazy trying to figure out.

Yea I already put a new fuel filter on, and a few years ago I put a new tank in so I don't think it would be crud in the tank.
