Yeah, that looks like water or alcohol. So now we're down to stalling under a load. You replaced the MAF correct? My next thought would be to monitor fuel pressure during the stalling condition, because if the fuel filter was that bad, that fuel pump was definitely being overworked trying to push fuel through that filter. Thats probably also why your initial pulse width was so high, the bad rear oxygen sensor plus a clogged-up fuel filter, the engine was starved for fuel. Also suspect a pump on its way out when you find a filter that bad. And when I do a fuel pump, I do the fuel pump relay too. Since fuel pumps can draw 5 to 9 amps of current. I do both just to cover my bases.
And with that gas you have there, if you put it in a graduated cylinder, or a tube where you can see the liquid, the gas and alcohol will separate, one will float on top of the other. And you can tell by that the percentage of how much alcohol or if its water, is mixed in with the gas in the tank. But it looks like alcohol to me.
I know this isn't a flex fuel vehicle, but there seems to be a certain amount of alcohol in all gas now.
But see if the fuel pressure is dropping off under a load. And what are the Fuel Trims doing during that stall too? If its fuel related, you could graph the oxygen sensors and watch them go lean when the stall occurs. So low voltage signal, like what that rear sensor was at.
Fuel Trims and Oxygen sensor readings are your best friend when watching for a fuel related issue.
