Yep, time to increase filter changes.
Rick, check your PM, I have some questions for you, thanks |
You guys might find this interesting reading. It's about Ethanol, and how it's eating up aluminum tanks in the marine industry. Even the fiberglass built in tanks are suffering from it. The Aluminum Oxide that is created is too small for a filter to pick up. Plays havoc with fuel injectors.

Rick - can you give details the SB tank - is it made as a conventional sealed aluminum tank? By whom?

Keith, It's a conventional Marine baffled aluminum tank. Hell, my aluminum tank in my Mako is 34 years old, and it's fine.

Thanks Rick, assumed so but wasn't sure. I'll be out burning up some fuel again this weekend - have a full tank and it's supposed to be 83F and SUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
