I just finished cleaning out the carb and the fuel tank of a friends Honda Atv. It had the same redish dust like stuff all caked into the carb making the float stick. So out of curiosity I removed his fuel tank and emptied it into a clean 5 gallon bucket. Sure enough it was full of LOTS of the same redish brown crap and some green chunks.
Only thing is he is more anal about fuel stabilizer than anyone I know and still has the problem. He uses so much SeaFoam that he buys it by the gallon!
I stopped using the fuel gauge a long time ago and just go off miles traveled. If I get near 100 miles and am not near any additional fuel I am in trouble.
