this is right from the tank

When I looked at the mucky brown stuff I got before I thought it was dirty gas. But it was probably more from the water/fuel Seperator bowel than the tank, I mixed the two. When I took only from the tank it looked like classic water/fuel mix, pristine fuel on top and mucky brown stuff on bottom...

Went to the boat today. It's so hot here, 100F, so I just ran the engine on an external tank for a while with some fuel injector cleaner added. Seem to be idling better now. Replaced the low-pressure fuel filter. Eventually I'm going to remove and clean the injectors, replace the high-pressure...

True! Thanks to everyone for your input. I'm going to run the boat on an external tank for right now. I'll try and clean the tank using a system similiar to that suggested by Hookup, Will keep you guys posted on my findings. Again, THANKS!!!!!!!!

So you looked at those pictures I posted and your pretty sure that its as you describe? Have you seen this all before? What did you do with the fuel injectors? It seems the might have gotten gummed up.. Thanks for the help!!

I ran the motor today on an external tank. I had to remove the internal fuel filter to get it to run but eventually it did. Idle was rough and when I punched it there seem to be a bit of a dead spot before it kicked in. I'm going to run an external tank for now so I can use the boat. I found a...

This gas came from BP station. Says 10% Ethanol(BP Silver)

here is a sample of what i got out of the tank

yes i have 3 filters 1 raycon-type water/fuel one car type fuel only and one water/fuel that's part of the engine.

About 15% layer on top of good gas with the rest brownish oily muck..

I had removed the old gas from the tank about a year ago. I did leave the fuel pickup tube assembly loose so any water/gas vapors could escape. Its not impossible that some water may have gotten in the tank, but when I put 40 gallons in it read about half full.

OK I will post a picture of the stuff today. What I recall is mostly slimy brownish liquid on the bottom and a layer (maybe about 15% of total ) of what looks like pristine gas on top.

I have posted here before related to my ongoing work on my 2000 208. Replaced the transom, all electrical wiring and found a nice 2020 DF 175a zuk with 200 hours for 7K to replace the yamy 2 stroke. Everything was going great until I took it on a shakedown cruise. When I started working on the...

Anyone have experience with installing new trim around the back cockpit. Looks like you need to heat the trim to mold it into the right shape. How is this done?? Rich

Little Beach Boatworks in west creek nj. charged me 5K to replace my transom...Still haven't put a motor on it so cant rave about the guy but seems like good work to me.. Not cosa board just marine ply

So did you pass on it? If you are in NJ I know a good glass guy prices very reasonable

ok thanks. i will take a look at those location. I was going to use the thru-hull I see in the pic just didnt want to put anything in before checking here first. Thanks again

? Looks like the bottom of the hull isn't flat enough to put one in

Greenwood for sure.....Problem is that the wood doesn't rot but can easily delaminate. that's what happened to my 2000 208.

bought 3/8 inch line since thats what came out of the boat. Only problem is getting the line on the output fuel tank nipple. It's too tight. Any suggestions?? Seasick, did you have the same problem??? thanks ahead of time for the help I decided to replace the tank pickup tube. That should...
