Crappy Fuel
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the quality of the unleaded fuel lately? I have just been seeing lots of posts lately on clogged carb jets/floats from gunk in the fuel but most is due to storage.
I have tried fuel from 3 different stations and when I run it through a funnel I have with a paper filter there is just a ton of redish brown gunk or floaters in it. I even tried the premium stuff. The stuff I am seeing looks like manganese algae that you find in some tap water. I think my problem is linked to the fact that nearly all our unleaded fuel is produced at the same place and distributed to the different stations.
I was also wondering if this is due to some type of fuel additive? I do not think there is much we can do about it other than be aware.
