I have a fun drive this morning that I really want to attend this morning. Do you think I can buy some more time if I do a quick fix by changing out the fuel filter? If so - will any auto parts filter do?
Thanks again for all your help!

Edric,
Sorry I didn't respond soon enough to help you make your decision about this morning's drive. From my experience, I'd say don't try a quick fix. In my case, I tried changing the fuel filter and fuel pump BEFORE I got to the tank, and not only did they not prevent the car from stalling out (I got stuck between LA and NorCal) but both actually ended up being wasted and needed to be replaced again because they were overwhelmed by crud from my tank. This is not to say that your problem is absolutely the tank, but you would be taking a risk unless you hit the problem right on the head with the new filter.
BTW, I have a couple of extra fuel filters in my garage if you need one. Just let me know.
