Default Good read, Fuel systems....

I get these atricles in my email all the time, for work. This one seemed relevant to many-a-discussion on these here forums, so I thought I'd share it.

Those who know me, won't be surprised that I was especially interested in "Forms of fuel system contamination #3".

Good stuff there Tom. Makes a lot of sense and I learned some stuff that I wasn't aware of. Never stop learning is my code for living and don't let the " I always did it that way" be your only guide. Sometimes the tried and true can stand some modification to get better results.

I agree completely with #3. But I will say something like a stabilizer does have it's place. Just don't be expecting it to work miracles... on a modern system with true sealing and venting... anything in the last 40 years... it isn't needed at all. I've dropped a couple of my own tanks (no nothing special ever goes in it. Hell I don't even use top teir... and they're spotless. Guess I'm just "lucky".
