Spit sputter STINK

[Tom Wheeler]

Fuzzy white oxidation.... It is from the alcohol in gasoline.  I saw a bunch of stuff when I was doing some googles for some issues I was having.  On a boat, all the posts I saw said that you have to go through all the aluminum parts, polish them, and use higher octane gas after.  Don't know about the octane thing, but that's what they said.  They also mentioned something about 3 or 4 filters going down to 1 micron or so. Tom Louisville
