Sorry to yell, but this is important. I learned this habit on a trip to FLA in 2000, and have never had any more black gunk or any problems.

I remember taking a picture of it with my phone I suppose through an inspection port and seeing the dark gunk on the bottom. It was back in September 2017, just checked. I wouldn’t imagine that it would return in two years but maybe so? I’ve never used an algaecide or any additives. The tank is at maybe 1/4 full so the air could be a factor. Suppose my first step will be to have a look inside the tank and see if there’s any new gunk inside. And check the filter, then bleed the system.

Short of removing the tank, or thoroughly cleaning (removing fuel, cutting inspection port and scraping and vacuuming) in place, this probably will happen again at the most inopportune time. I removed and cleaned mine over ten years ago and never had that problem since. David F.

In my case (35 MK II) the fuel pickup was at the starboard end of the tank and rolling to port introduced air and the engine would quit. Took me years to find that design flaw. Good luck.

The debris (gunk) could have fouled it, as well. Marek _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
