[QUOTE="surfman, post: 387596, member: 7404"] The sludge could actually be caused by the ethanol fuel, ethanol attracts water and it can become saturated in the fuel eventually separating out. Many older style fuel system are not compatible with ethanol ( alcohol) and rubber components and fuel lines will disintegrate causing lots of problems. The fuel additives that are available today do work and you should always put some into your fuel especially if the gas is going to sit for a few weeks or longer which is typical in a boat. [/QUOTE]
