New Gas

[BigPete]

You can mix the old with the new, just make sure it is atleast a 5 to 1 mix and you won't have any problems if you have a fuel/water seperator/filter.

just mix it together and be done with it. I think alot of this is hoopuckey save for the older fiberglass tank guys. I been checking my racor all season and it's fine, all I did at the start of the season was mix 25 gallons of new with about 50 gallons of old and have not had a single problem. My vst pump problem last fall which was diagnosed this spring was well before any Ethanol came up to Mass.

Last weekend I idled the rest of the old gas out in the driveway. I then installed a 10 micron Racor fuel water separator with the clear bowl. Today I put 18 gallons into the tank. I went home, hooked up the muffs, and proceeded to prime. The filter filled up with fuel, and the clear bowl filled up. So I drained it. I started the boat, and watched the filter, the bowl filled up, I drained it, filled up , I drained it. This went on for 4 or 5 times till the engine died. Now I started to prime until the bowl filled , and drained it about 15 times. I think I am going to get a hand pump tomorrow, and pump the while tank out. I am peesed, frustrated, and don't know what to do.

Specialist the bowl is supposed to fill up with fuel. What the bowl does is allow you to drain off any water which will be at the bottom of the bowl since water is heavier than fuel. At least that's the way mine has always worked..........................
