Cause the F225 is all new to me and I wanted no problems I had the whole engin serviced a few weeks ago. All new filters, oil change, lower unit oil and gaskets, new water pump, anoids, whole VST system including injectors, ran for any codes. For a cost of $1200!! OUCH! But I wanted to make sure a new to me motor was perfect as it could be the first time!! I will do most service now, but send tghe VST out every 2 years

$90 Filter
My guy sold me a regular filter to put in line on the high pressure side. I may try to back [pressure the filter and see what comes out. And even then, I think I'll do some surfing and try to find a 10 micron in line for that spot. Need to remove 55 gallons of gas from the tank just to be sure.

The gas is not that old. I may rethink it and treat the gas, then run it hard. Shame is on me cause the fuel water sep was 2 years old. I think that's what did me in for the most part.
I didn't replace the filter inside the VST because it looked like I could back wash it and I did. Will let ya'll know how it comes out in a couple hours......

I had to drain 110 gals of permix from my boat!! BS is using it in his 2 stroker and I have now refilled with all straight gas.

STARTRON fuel enzyme ethanol treatment is your friend here. I had 87 gallons of ethanol seperated crap in my tank when I bought it, treated it with the STARTRON and it burned through fine. Also I would look into the new YAMAHA spin on filters for your fuel water seperator in the boat. They now make a 2 micron filter that is twice as long due to all of the ethanol problems they have encountered.
