Ergo, no code references to furnish. (Thanks Voyager).
Had filled up from 1/4 tank previously. I always top off the tank to avoid condensation problems. I DID fill it up at the same time the fuel tanker was filling the underground fuel tanks. Something I usually try to avoid.
Sure hope it is not the wiring issue that Voyager experienced.
Guess I'll work my way through the current tank as I have no way of draining a fuel tank with the limited resources I have. Is there an additive that could help with that?
Sorry so many questions, but again, I am chief among Ignorami.
If I had this problem I would take off the new air box and put the stock one back into place. This way I would be eliminating one possible problem, however unlikely.
Before doing it I would check to see that the new one fits perfectly. I have not fitted one of these air boxes and wonder if the air box locators have to be adjusted in any way, the rubber seal is still in place and not missing or has a gap.
I am assuming that sometimes it works OK and then does not, am I correct?
If it is leaking air it may be an air mixture problem.
