200EXTED for what it may be worth.
Finally got the engine running great - but I’ve been using a portable tank as I assumed the sediment and such in an old sitting tank would (at minimum) cause running issues based on contamination.
so I put 25 gallons in the tank, installed a fresh FW separated filet and hook it up to a line, then a 10 micron, then pump, then another 10 micron and then back into the tank. Basically trying to polish the fuel myself.
Once it was all done I installed a new FW filter and decided that after 6 gallons on the portable I was going to hook up main and test.
Welp, she fell on her face. Pumping the bulb into a jar on the water resulted in milky/foamy fuel. Hooked back up portable, emptied the bowls, and got her started again and ran great.
so the question comes to, what’s best to do here? Put more fuel in? Treat? Use the same system and Change the FW filter like every 10 minutes? Or just have someone come out and clean it professionally?
I see some some items online that filter water out - but - as seen on TV right?
thanks for the advice.
