ONLY use NO-ethanol gas in your boat motor …and get that grey fuel line replaced!

Joel Frailicks says:

Is it possible you got bad fuel last time you filled up? That seems to be way more water than what ethanol would "Attract". I dont know the terminology or science of it but I remember from my r/c airplane days how glow fuel (methanol) would go bad if the can wasn't sealed. One could assume that you got bad fuel or a hole in the fuel cell/tank. I'm interested to know what the sollution was. Great video!

Did you rebuild the carbs?

Thomas Pozsonyi says:

You can take all the fuel out let the water settle to the bottom and use the good gas on top

William Riley says:

The life of reg non-stabilized ethanol gasoline is about 30 days…

Ol Dawg says:

This gas these days doesn't last very long

Brett, that is the inside of your fuel lines breaking down because of the ethanol fuel. If you have water in the tank that is a separate issue. Change out all fuel lines and empty tank and check for leaks.

Replace all fuel filters and fuel hose every other season same for your mowers ethanol tears up the hose from the inside out and you cat see it looking at outer hoses! Cheap Insurance

Robert Dalos says:

Why would you pump the junk in the tank thru the pump. Dump the tank out and clean the tank.
