I recently purchased this boat with an aluminum gas tank in it. I put some gas in it and immediately clogged my electric fuel pump. I think there was leftover gas that had turned to varnish. I removed the gas tank. replaced the fuel outlet hose, blew compressed air through my fuel pump and then proceeded to remove the premium fuel I wasted from the tank. It looked like a mixture of orange juice and tea. I made sure the tank was clean by flushing with water 4 times and then using acetone to clean anything left. I made sure everything was working fine before i put back in my boat, it was. once back in the boat I put another 15 gallons of premium in and ran the boat for about 5 minutes and it then died. Looking at my visible fuel filter I noticed the gas in orange again, not cloudy but orange nonetheless. The only hose i didnt replace is my fuel filler hose. could this be the problem or is it something with my aluminum tank? has anyone ever encountered a problem like this? what should i do?
