Default Re: 10 Percent Ethanol

My primer bulb rotted from the inside. Replaced it with an ethanol "proof" one. My fuel pump went bad (carbed 150 Johnson) a couple months after my stations started pushing ethanol. I now use a filter with a clear bottom so I'll be able to see the little black pieces when my fuel line starts to deteriorate [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]. Hopefully that won't happen to the 520 series alcohol rated lines. My tank should be clean; I installed it 3 years ago. I was advised to use startron if the fuel was going to be unused for more than 2 weeks. Don't forget your lawn mowers and other small engines.
