Well I got the tanks out and all cleaned out.
In the tank that I was running off I found : 12" piece of Eletric tape, Marine Tex glass tube (catalist) empty, small stainless S hook?
In the tank I was not using at the time I found a 8" long beaded chain, and a hose clamp.
I don't no what the guy before me was doing but I never saw a boat run on this stuff.
I am guessing that the tape was getting sucked up the pick up tube not allowing the gas to come up?? Why did I not have this problem before?? I have had the boat 5 seasons never a problem
Someone had this tank out before because the alummin fitting had a brass fitting conected to it, and no anti-shpion ball. But the other side was all alummin with a ball in it.
Well its off to the parts store again!!!! Need to get one new fitting and some new filler hoses. The old ones were welded (glued) or something to the filler neck and I had to cut the heck out of them to get them off.
I will let you no how things progress
