Hi folks,

my in-line glass filter from the tank has constant golden flakes that clog the filter, cutting off gas to the engine. I'm assuming these are coming from the tank. Anyone have this or similar problems? Any resolutions? thanks. mike

Mike,

The older pate tanks are prone to deterioration from the ethanol in the fuel.

Solution: New Tank......
