Ok guys here is my latest fuel issue, After finding a good amount of water and the Mystery white stuff in my 10 micron F/W filter. I decided to Clean out my fuel tank and see how bad it looked. remember i cleaned my fuel tank and all the filters in early July. Well when i got into my tank...

Hello, ok here it goes. Well after cleaning out my fuel tank i got rid of water and a bunch of the white crap in the tank. That was back in early JULY, so after burning 300 gallons and changeing the 10 micron filter after the first 80 gallons of fuel burnt i Changed my 10 micron filter...

I don't know if this horse has been beat or not yet? I just found out that Yamaha has started using a new filter ( the one before the low pressure fuel pumps, IN Motor). Does anyone know what the change is beside 's it having a green filter material? Is it a smaller micron? better water...

After having a clogged filter cost me 4 trips and about 3500 dollars in repairs I have gotten to the point where i clean my VST filter and my fuel injection filters after every trip. Just 3 weeks ago i emptied my fuel tank about 80 gallons and flushed out my fuel tank with lots of water, i...

If i should flush with something else, can you give me any idea's on what to use? thanks Chris

Hello, well this weekend i sucked out all the fuel in my 173 gallon fuel tank and found a few small spots of that gunky white stuff. Well i flushed out the fuel tank with loads of water. I think i have the tank as clean as i can get it but my question is this. Since i only have about a 1 1/4"...

what do you guys on the east coast/ new england areas know about VENTURE TRAILER"S. Good, bad just ok, over built/ under built. Just a little info needed. We do not have them here on the west coast. Thanks Chris

at this point and time i don't know if killing this outboard would be such a bad thing. I guess i will not run a 10 too 2 micron filter set up. First i will empty tank and clean out then after that i will consider the 2 micron filter issue. Chris

Just like to Say thanks to DALEH For what he has done on this board. It seems when nobody can find a answer he ends up be the goto guy and always seems to have a good logical answer or perspective. I have not been a board member to long but from what i have read and seen the man has his...

Ok i am now going through the white milky stuff on my 2001 250 ox66 VST Filter and a little on my fuel injector fuel filters. MY question is this, I am trying to determine if this is a ethanol/ aluminum tank issue or is just a plain ethanol problem??? How many of you guys out there having these...

Its me again, i just got the boat out of shop, they told me they found gunk on the high pressure fuel pump screen. Cleaned it and say it runs good again. I have not tested it on the water yet. my question is they said it had a white gooey gunk on it. I have heard that this white gooey gunk is...
