The jelly stuff is light blue or gray, and it dissolves instanly if carb cleaner is sprayed into it.
For now, I will be riding with a couple of 6gal portable red tanks, and the main tank will be there holding air only. I am so tired of this problem that for now the main tank is decommisioned. If the problem goes away with the portable tanks, then I will start looking for a solution to this problem.
Last time I sailed, the motor quit on me approaching the dock, and before I managed to start it, I had hit the pier and bent/broke the SS rail.
My Yamaha 200 runs so smooth and reliable when fuel is clean, and the V20 is a dream to sail around, but a little water in the fuel can make it all worthless.
I am even considering pulling the main tank out and throwing 3 portable tanks in there, all I need to do is put hinges on the tank cover/deck.

watch weren you get your gas from you might be getting it from them? Also ck your vent, I had a friend that was getting water in thur the vent cause the opening was facing front, when he was in ruff water it would splash up and go in the vent.
The fix for that was a big ss clam shell over the top of the vent, still vents and water will never get in there ever again.
