Looking at the crud in the last filter, I don't think it was rust. I think it was deteriorated rubber. Went out and fired it up again yesterday, with no problems. So for now, I think I have the issue resolved.

Looking at the crud in the last filter, I don't think it was rust. I used a cheap see thru plastic one, to get a "look see" at what was getting in the filter. I think it was deteriorated rubber. I did change that one out with a metal housing filter. I just don't like the plastic, given how close the filter is to the exhaust manifold. Went out and fired it up again yesterday, with no problems. So for now, I think I have the issue resolved.

Doesn't Ethanol turn rubber lines into black gunk? In the pre-ethanol days crud usually came in a rust color. Dunno

That's what I read in an article that someone posted here. That's why I went with fuel injection line. The article mentioned the best thing to use was teflon hoses. To pricey and uses special connectors.

If the lines have that much rust in them, I would replace and not worry about them later on down the road. There is a good chance some of that rust/gunk is the wall of the line itself. If you want to try and salvage what you have you purchase the aerosol line cleaner from Eastwood here.

I am replacing my gas tank now as we speak. The important thing to consider too is the new barricade fuel hose that is being used (like fuel injection hose). The barricade hoses help block the damage from the witches brew of "fuel" on the market. I use it on everything I replace a hose on now. Yes it is more expensive - but better to spend it up front then having to worry about the hose turning to a black goo and be soft as a fresh baked cookie (yummmm). Or into powdery crap.

Yup. I replaced everything rubber with fuel injection hose when I had to address my sending unit leak .
