I also installed a fuel pressure gauge!

I'll update with more details after it's all back together. I'm optimistic
Yeah, I know you guys had about 40 C. We had 39...Kids didn't want to go out today so we stayed home in the AC...watched movies. Tomorrow night we will all go out for the fireworks. If it runs badly at first then gets better, then worse again you know you have overwhelmed the filtering system. Generally if there's enough water to keep the engine stalling the tank needs to be drained. By the way, I switched gas supply...SHELL V power...not even a sputter. One of the station managers told me that Shell insists on regular filter changed on their tanks regardless of dip tests for water...I find it awesome and my cars run better on it as well. My Subaru gets 75 km more per tank on it.
