87 18 SF fuel issues

[Vezo, Part II]

This is Vezo, Part I’s 18, replaced 47 gallon fuel tank with identical from Sunshine. All new fill, vent and pick up to Racor water separator, to fuel bulb and into engine, in 2010. He went out on Friday, 7 am. By 3, he was completely exhausted and bent over fuel issues. Solution? Drink more and faster, have older brother come to ramp, retrieve, cross highway and try for shrimp. I board at 3:30 seated on tackle box above forward seat of console. He advises stand behind the leaning post between them because when engine dies I will be in the water. This 2010 Suzuki 140 only knows two speeds: 800 and 6000 rpms. Roughly 800 hours.

My brothers buddy advises he has drained clear bowl of Racor, until completely full of water, or degradation of aluminum fuel tank, at least 50 times earlier. I watch. Appears water for sure. Parker’s is a local new fuel station in the last ten years and tanks should be good. Tommy has ONLY used non-ethanol since ObamaCare corn methanol. Possibility, non-ethanol, not turning over often enough? Been advised this is/may be Non-Ethanol crystalization? Anyone?
