Hey Steve, the stuff you found in the lines reminds me ofwhat i'm looking at
in my 151's fuel tank. My tank has been completely refurbished by me in feb.
Its been coated inside with that POR stuff for gas tanks too so I'm sure it
was clean.All new fuel lines and fuel pump and new filters soo, i'm thinking
that it has got to be the stinking gas that we have today.It seems that
stuff must be causing all these problems, just a thought. Vinny out
