I don’t see how any of that came from the fuel line. If you look at the lower right corner of the fuel bowl, you can see the small fuel screen [filter] I was speaking of. There is no way that stuff could have made it through there. I don’t know for sure what that stuff is, I only know that the owner uses ethanol along with Sea Foam. This motor is a sail boat kicker, and runs off a portable tank. I’m surprised to hear that ethanol works good for some, but not for me. I can tell you several stories like this one.
I have one of those 1 gallon gas jugs for my weed eater. I fill it once a month or so, and add oil to it so it’s ready to use. When I used to use ethanol, I noticed after a week the gas smelled bad like it was already stale. I don’t notice this at all now that I switched over.
I guess I’ve just seen to much damage to fuel systems, so I avoid the stuff. I work on this stuff 5 days a week, and have seen some weird stuff! Or, maybe ethanol in Missouri is worse than in other areas?
