No, I didn't just fumble around a drop it, I was pouring it into my port fuel tank filler. Seems my filler neck hose has popped off.

Just flushed the interior heavily with water to dilute and wash it out the back. Not partial to intentionally washing out a carpeted boat with the water hose but there wasn't much choice.

Been a rough day anyhow.

Please explain why you were dumping lead substitute into your fuel tank.

To lube the valve seats, no? This has been discussed before, some do it some say it isn't necessary but I doubt it will hurt a thing, besides my carpet.;)
