You can retard or prevent the foramtion of gum. You can't do much about phase separation of water in fuel. Ah, but there is something tou can do. Look up a product called Water-Zorb. It really works like magic. That's just another *brand name for Dri-Gas. It's basically just alcohol, like the alcohol that caused the problem. Adding more alcohol may get you going in the short term, but will also likely shorten the life of your engine. There is no treatment you can add to gasoline that will eliminate phase separation.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - There are products, however, that will protect against phase separation happening in the first place. |
