Thanks for all the info I am emailing from VA did not get blown to NC
Therefore NO sparks....
-I took out the antisiphon valves and this seemed to help.
-I would never "dump" 500 gals of fuel... They will pump it out for 250 set
up and 1o2 bucks per gallon at your local repair under EPA regulations.
-If anyone is else is suspicious of their tanks. You can get a pressure
gauge at Sears to check the fuel flow from the tanks to engines to check if
you have a similar problem ...I noticed because I started getting poor
economy and burning up fuel pumps initially
Thanks
Jeff

I doubt there is any significant risk. Most boat fuel tanks and

You doubt it??? Gene, do you know where Jeff keeps his boat? And, do you
own a video camera? If yes to both questions, I'm shocked that you'd stoop
so low, just to sell the footage to one of the TV news organizations. Get
a
job.

Aw.... come on. The guy is already paranoid. In 40 years of pulling
wrenches I have yet to create an explosion from tightening fuel
fittings..... a few fires maybe, but nothing *serious*.
