    Default boat issues


    well, my fuel line was compromised. I think it was actually my fuel filter. took it to the boat shop earlier th is week. hoped to have it back by today so I could drown a shiner tomorrow, but it didn't happen.

    maybe one day I will get to wet ah ook again. ready for some line tugging.

    anyone else getting ready for darbonne??

    I have always put that sta-bil in all of my fuel. I think it helps when having to use ethanol.

    Sea Foam is a good product too. Have a cousin who is a boat mechanic for the coast guard and he says they use it in everything, gas tank and crankcase, any kind of engine. $9 at Walmart.

    I used stabils in my boat every fill up, ethanol or not and the lines will still deteriorate. The grey ones are just not going to hold up. The clear inner lining separated. Switched all mine over to automotive lines this June.

    I am considering slipping off to the camp in Hosston tomorrow and spending the rest of the weekend there. You are welcome to come share my boat with me.

    I would not use it.

    Seafoam is made of 3 components, and ONLY 3 component.
    10%-20% Isopropyl Alcohol,
    25%-35% Naphtha,
    40%-60% Pale Oil.



    Isopropyl Alcohol is a solvent.
    Naphtha, which is a cut out of crude oil, is solvent
    Pale Oil, or Heavy distillate (diesel),
