Dude, I know that Tibbels on East Harbor has a fuel cleaning service that could probably handle your issue. Are you sure one of the fuel additives won't take care of any problems you may have developed. Siphon some gas out in a clear container and let it sit to see if any water settles out and that should tell you if you have a water problem. Good luck.Quote:

Have you put any fuel stabilizer in your tank? I store mine over the winter every year with out fuel stabilizer and it's fine but I think I'd add it for multiple years.
Non ethanol gas stores alot better than ethanol gas but it will start to break down over long periods and turn to varnish like substance
Rec fuel has a 2 year shelf life, I have been using it for the past 14 years with SEAFOAM and never had a problem. Mix 1 or 1 1/2 oz. with every gallon of gas, take boat and trailer for a ride to mix and you should be fine. When storing for the winter fill tank/seafaom, don't run carbs try, turn key off put batteries on maintenance charger and fog engine. You'll be fine till spring.
