I am hoping nmot to have any?? I just drained all the tanks, and I just ordered 2 new filters.

But they say after you use one or 2 tanks, you will be in the clear!!
By that time you will cleaned the tanks and the filter will have filter all the crap.

But they say Always have a spare filter with you at all times!

I had a problem with my truck recently after I filled it at a station where a fuel truck was filling up the tanks. My truck ran like **** that morning . . . big loss of power. I changed my fuel filter that afternoon and it was full of sediment crap. ???? I just changed the fuel filter last month. Coincidence . . . maybe???

No problems at all with my 1981 Mercury 225 running 10% ethanol.

I'm in California, we've been running the stuff for years.

I just added a can of Seafoam to the truck, thus will clean all!! when that tank is empty I will change the filter.
Going to do the same for the boat, I have 2 10 micron filters coming.

Why two MJ, won't one do the same job, plus keep a spare cartridge on board ?

the reason i asked is because i have a 50 hp with a sreen cartride and lost power on the water i took out the filter blew it out and it ran good but it happened again i just chaged the filter and it runs great again i was thinking its the gas that george bush iis forcing us to use

hey BS, never get gas when trucks are filling tanks! all the trash in thier tanks gets stirred up when tankers fill them. also, ever been pumping fuel and the pump is so slow that it takes forever? that means dirty filters. go inside and get ur money back and get fuel somewhere else.

[macojoe]

Yes willy I will be using one, and have one for spare.
