One of my Mac 10-10's needed to have the fuel tank seperated to clean out a bunch of nasty stuff and after struggling with getting the tank halves resealed I finally was able to. Now, the darn fuel line is leaking around the molded grommet where is passes into the tank. It is a brand new fuel line and was not leaking two weeks ago, it looks like it has shrunken probably from our crappy pump gas full of MBTE and alcohol.

I sure wish we could go back to no additive gas, I might start using 105octane race fuel instead.

100LL avgas won't work for me since I have a bunch of machines with cats and ya can't run the LL gas through them.

Last week my lawnmower started acting up too, a 1.5 year old Briggs Intek Pro. It was running rough and missing. A little seafoam cleared it right up but it shouldn't have happened. I only keep gas and premix for 30 days before I dump it in the motorcycle or car.
