X Air Hawk fuel tank 'shedding' particles into fuel
开云体育It honestly depends on the fuel and the additives that are used locally when it is produced.....?? Fuel is not fuel any more..........I have seen some excessive fuel tanks deteriorate in as little as 12 months from ethanol car fuel. If you have debris inside the fuel tank that is flaking off the best thing to do is drain the fuel tanks, put about 3 feet of chain in the fuel tank and Shake like crazy !?? the chain will break off any of the exposed fibres, you then need to flush the fuel tank as many times as you can to remove the debris and you should be good for another year or two. Because the debris is normally fibreglass it is almost impossible to see in the fuel filter when it is wet Because it is completely translucent (just like Glass)?? When it dries out however it looks white like rabbit fur or something similar so if you just looking your fuel Filter if it has a glass Shield you may not see that your fuel filter is 90% clogged. It is amazing when you pull the fuel filter apart and the fuel starts to evaporate it looks like all of these fibres are actually growing on the fuel filter as they dry out and become visible.

开云体育Yes sir - you are bang on.
So what do I do??
Replacing the tank is out of the question for me.
Do I simply and constantly clean the fuel filter every 10hours?? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Geoffrey Gartshore <geoff.gartshore@...>
