In Response To: Fuel Issues (pcj)

If Ethanol is in your state now, you almost have no choice. You either bite the bullet and put in a metal tank, or short term, get a 20 gallon plastic tank and feed it to your fuel filter and engine. Cut off fuel from your main tank. Use your 100 gallons by siphoning it into your auxilliary on-deck tank. If you consume 100 gallons a month, I'm pretty sure the fuel won't have been there long enough to dissolve the resins to the degree you'll screw up your engine. It's not the water that will kill you...it's the black gunk that comes from the dissolving resins. Your filters won't catch it. Walter
