I changed out my water seperator filter today.I poured the fuel that was in the old filter into a jar and found several clear and black plastic or rubber fragments in the fuel.Does anyone know what this is and will this lead to a bigger problem?

Guys ethanol is no joke. I have a friend that works at the Cheveron Refinary. He told me that they performed a test with 50 gallons of 10% ethanol fuel. They poured a bottle of Robitussin cough syrup in the tank and within 20 minutes, the entire 50 gallons turned to jello.
Thanks Obama!!!!

Yes, ethanol. You should be adding some Ring Free or Quick Clean, plus some Marine STABILizer (or Startron) in your tank every fillup!!!

Water separator + 10 micron filter. I bought my ethanol proof hoses at Napa automotive parts. Cost around 4.50 per foot. I would change out the primer bulb as well. I used metal clamps on all of my hoses as I had a problem sucking air with the plastic clamps.

+1 on Martin Pro Outdoors http://martinprooutdoors.com/He worked on my boat and as far as boat mechanics go...he's one of the best and least expensive. I will happily drive the hour to him to get my boat worked on.

Im def gonna have to check out Martin Pro Outdoors. I wanna get my fuel lines upgraded on my 2000 model year skeeter. Ethanol is a big FAIL. I run Startron, Stabil ethanol treatmant and seafoam in my tank.
