lol...I just read this entire thread waiting to get to the end to tell you it was the catalytic converter but you already figured it out. Had the exact same problem on a non-Ford vehicle when I was a student. Drove fine until you wanted to go up a hill. Eventually quite running all together. Replace the converter and added another year on the car before selling it.

Congrats on getting it fixed!

Related? Yes. But I doubt that any "contaminants" would have made it all the way through the filter, the rest of the fuel system, the injectors, survived the combustion process, and then made their way all the way through the exhaust, in a form large enough to clog the cat. I do believe that the plugged filter, and whatever caused it, could have caused a lean condition; enough to melt the cat(s). The bad fuel COULD have also traveled far enough to clog one or more injectors.

Like I said, I doubt this little saga is over.

if the contaminants caused it to run lean enough, that will melt a cat very quickly, acnd could have easily been the root cause. Ive seen that a few times working as an auto tech
