A couple of years after I got my car it developed a "bucking" condition during hard acceleration. After replacing the fuel pump, fuel lines, adding an in-line fuel filter, and replacing the carb, I finally discovered that fuel tank sealant had come loose in the tank and was actually interfering with the fuel pick-up.
Sort of like the way the giant octopus went after the sub in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea!
I'm sure your tank is clean enough that the sealant will adhere properly and not give you any problems, but after the hell I went through figuring it out...I will personally avoid tank sealants of any kind.
Just my 2 cents worth. Mooso.
