You got off pretty cheap. I had to replace an 80 gal tank, all the hoses and replace all the gaskets in the carb. The boat origin was Virginia where they have ethanol. Cost me almost 3K.
Lakeport Landing assured me I should have no problem as they use a Stabil product as an addictive in their gas. Ron said to leave the tank empty for the winter. If any water should condensate, the ethanol will blend with the water and the fuel filter will take care of it.
I sent my letter to the Representatives. Hopefully numbers will speak louder than PAC money.
