[QUOTE="Rumblejohn, post: 425757, member: 17653"] Fuel tank is 6gal same age as the motor, and looks clean inside. The hose is gray, and had the spec numbers on it until I washed the mildew off and they left with it. The fuel came from WAWA, and so far found no trash or water in it. The only thing different that I have doing is using a Bell fuel additive that my Mercury service tech highly recommended as a stabilizer. Highly suspect that the mystery substance is the vapor barrier turned to stone. When I blew out the hoses and fittings the bits and pieces were hard enough to draw blood when I tried to catch them! Took the primer bulb apart, and it looks okay now that I have the chunks out of it. Checked the usual parts suppliers and they don't post the specs online. Guess I will have to go door to door and see if it makes the j1527 rating to keep the USCG happy. J [/QUOTE]
