mavfreak 11 #26 Posted March 17, 2011 Don't know about you guys, but it seems like carb problems are becoming more common than ever. It has to be partly due to gas quality/ethanol. I asked the local dealer if he was seeing many problems due to Ethanol and he said "Tons of problems". He suggested running it dry if you wont be using it for a while. If the tractor is going to sit for weeks place plastic wrap under the cap and keep the tank full. This will keep the Ethanol from absorbing the moisture in the air outside and there will be no air in the tank to condensate. Its getting to be something that we are going to deal with on a regular basis! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SNYFIX 12 #27 Posted March 20, 2011 I'm thinking they're going to have to design fuel tanks with petcocks like airplanes have to drain off any condensation before starting. May have to do that in the auto world as well. And it's gonna have to be done before each use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
