In Response To: Re: Ethanol - New Thread (Walter Kaprielian)

Walter,
My engines are throttle bodied fuel injected. I replaced all the fuel lines,from the tank all the way to the motors, bought 4 new fuel injectors,2 were completely shot,cleaned the other 2 with high pressure air hose and Gum Outted the other 2 kept them for spares, had to replace 1 electric fuel cooler/pump and cleaned the other. The O rings in the fuel pumps seals had to be replaced also. The electronic knock senesors had to be replaced and cleaned the throttle body housings completely. By the time I was running right, I spent over $1,500.00 in parts and I did all the labor myself. Injectors were over 300 per pair.
Guys be very careful where you get your fuel from,anyone who is having fuel problems make sure you check the fuel lines very throughly before going back in the water next spring.
