I'm hoping that someone can give me some advice. I have a 2005 C180 SCIC and it has run great for me, but yesterday, it gave me a bunch of trouble. It started out fine during the day, then I would be on plane pulling tubes when it would bog down, pretty much to idle. If I let it run at idle for a few minutes, I could accelerate again for a short time and then it would bog again. I changed plugs, but I still get the same symptoms.

I think it might be a gas problem as I used a gas can from a friend that I later found had a bunch of crap in it, including left over mineral spirits. Do these symptoms make sense for a fuel problem? Also, if anyone has suggestions on how to empty the tank, I would appreciate it. I know most pumps say not to use them for gasoline.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Brian
