Stus-List Fuel contamination

Personally, I would siphon out all the old fuel (give to a friend who heat with oil) and remove the tank and clean it out, and reinstall and then add fresh fuel. That's what I did when I bought my 32 Tom Anderson C 32 Nonpareil Marblehead, MA 5 hours to next race  On Sep 6, 2015, at 1:54

Re: Stus-List Fuel contamination

I would carry extra filters, and fill with fresh fuel. Pegasus sat for a couple of years when I bought her. I didn't have any issues with the fuel until I got into rough water, and stired up the fuel. Now I change the filters once a year and have no issues. Doug Mountjoy sv Pegasus LF38 Just west

Stus-List Fuel contamination

It just occurred to me that no one replied with a DIY fuel cleaning method. Has anyone built their own polisher? I have considered a two filter system with a bypass polisher but haven't had any issues and I don't use much fuel either. It isn't complicated in theory. Len Crazy Legs 1989 37+

Re: Stus-List Fuel contamination

On Pegasus I have a system that alows me to pump fuel through my filters, then back to the tank. Not sure I would call it a fuel polisher. I put it in after spending a hour trying to bleed the filters while under way. I have a valve before the engine andafter the filters, and one that

Hi this issue is a concern for me as well. Now, on the boat we're buying, we ran the engine for probably 2 - 3 hours throughout the weekend. Between moving it to the lift and back during the survey and then out for a sea trial we never shut it off and the engine ran beautifully the whole

Re: Stus-List fuel contamination continued-jelly in the filter

40gallons in a 1GM10, little bit of cutting and some mounting bits and it was all done. Not a difficult job assuming you can get the old tank out. Cheers, Paul 27MkII Sidney, BC Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2015 16:33:05 + To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List fuel contamination continued-jelly

Stus-List fuel contamination continued-jelly in the filter

We paid a mechanic who charged $400 for an engine that ran for 3 hours and then..revs went down to 1,000 and we managed to get into the dock. Same situation. I took a sample to the gas barge and it was contaminated beyond belief. Took out the fuel that was black in some places and then

Re: Stus-List fuel contamination continued-jelly in the filter

I've been fortunate to not have the problems which you are facing however I have decided that when it is time for a new tank it will be 2 instead of just one. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Sep 5, 2015 12:33 PM, "Bev Parslow via CnC-List" wrote: > We
