Thanks for the sympathy and compliment, but I didn't mean to discredit anyone that gave me advices in the first place. I value advices including opinions a lot as they helped me in many situations. I was the one that made the final decision so I took full responsiblity.

It took about 9 months for the coolant additive to clog the engine, so I bet it got into the fuel lines little by little and eventually fully clogged the fuel lines.

I believe if the car is a corvette or a hot rod V8, this problem probably wouldn't occur in the first place. Boxster's engine is 'delicate' I mean look at those fuel lines, they are so tiny!

It's posts like yours that makes the forum. Your follow up is what it's all about! You rock!!
