[QUOTE="GarageBeers, post: 512597, member: 32394"] Yeah good point about fuel source. I wonder what the best way to test that is? And for remaining fuel left behind throughout the entire system, i like to flush my outboards after each use when brought back home. Figured i would switch over to the TruFuel engineered 40:1 or 50:1 mix during the flush to ensure "healthy" fuel is left behind. No ethanol and can be kept in the lowest quality fuel lines for months without deteriorating. I dont like to disconnect my fuel supply and let the engine kill itself. That means it uses up all the fuel (which contains oil for 2 strokes) which means those final revolutions of the crank and pistons are ran "dry".... unnecessary if i leave engineered fuel or stabilizer in it. Also, i like to start my outboards every so often, which helps prevent rotting lines and gaskets as well, despite whatever fuel source is used [/QUOTE]
