Default Sloshing compound is failing


Thanks, Ben.
I do run auto fuel, and here in Iowa stations must, repeat must, offer
ethanol blended fuels. I never knowingly used a blended fuel. But who
is to say that maybe someone put the wrong fuel in the big underground
tank at the local station. I have made some checks for alcohol after
filling my transport tank, but never confirmed its presence. I guess
maybe one should check every time you go to the station. My totalizer
on my pump says that I have pumped over 8000 gallons of fuel through
it. Maybe I did get a "bad" load or two in there.
By the way, there is move in the Iowa legislature to require that ALL
gas sold in the state be blended with ethanol. The proposal is being
pushed by the Iowa Corn Board. They see it as a new market for corn.
So, Iowans, write your letters to your state Senators and Reps. I
have.

Now, where is that MEK?

It is part # 912 I think. If it the old stuff and you ran auto fuel in
it that was a mixture of gas/alcohol the blistering is what usually
happens. I have a Zenith 801 and I would dread to have to unzip my
wings to get at the tanks. We all feal your pain....
