I am fairly confident of the analysis, as my father-in-law had the gas analyzed in his lab (mahor chemical company) and the culprit was caught with the 5-gallon can of frying oil

JT, after I cleaned it out and replaced the injectors, I got it started trice and ran it for about 10 minutes each time. It sparks OK and seems to be in time, as best I can tell with my old-fashioned timing light and not being able to get the thing running.
Pablo, the biggest trouble here is that this vehicle is not a diesel.
96, compression was in spec and seemed unusually good for a car with 160,000 miles on it.
This is a real mess. I have two cars that I can't drive, yet they are driving me crazy.

Don't know if this is on topic or not.
What was the topic?
The worse thing I ever had to deal with was gasket cement in the the tank of a small wood chipper. It had seeped through the fuel line and through the carb. Carb/injector cleaner wouldn't disolve it. By trial and error I tried dry-gas (alchohol) and that worked. It still won't idle but who idles a wood chipper anyway. Alchohol should also clean the water-based corn syrup.

I've showed my old filter to specialists, and they are sure, that I was parahine. May be gas vesseles were not cleaned properly, but the fuel was for summer use, and it was very cold outdoors, so it was separated by cold. I payed $5 for filter and $5 for fuel pump test, but I had a lot of work and I had to use bus for 2 days.
