It was a thin bit of hidden water in the tank that took about 15 minutes in climb to hit the engine.

Ever since, I always intentionally drool a bit of fuel to make sure they are clear. If not, I always carry some 2 ft pipe cleaners bought on ebay, and clear the drains.

I consider blocked drains a no-go item until cleared.
-Hello thanks for the Tip ;pipe cleaner is next time in my ;list
