So, for the past 6 weeks i have been cleaning the idle 55 jets on my two weber 40s 30mm vents. Ive cleaned out the clear jelly from the tank to were the car is drivable but cannot get it to last more than about 20 miles when the webers develops poor idle transition. The mains 130 run fine. All plugs are a light tan. After i cleaned the tank it does drives much better, but it stills does not rev through the idle circuit properly after every carb cleaning and a 20 mile drive. I'm just pumping more gas/water into my tank.
I seem to be in an impossible situation since after only two fill ups, I can see the water droplets in the bottom of the tank, again. The car runs great after i blow out the idle jet and mixture circuit. In fact i can tell which jet is clogged just by twirling it's mixture needle and not getting an engine rpm response at engine idle. So, can someone respond, please, with how they are dealing with this ethanol fuel? my search is leading me to a boating marine solution, maybe. Frank in RI 73 2.0 stock with webers |

Years ago, I had a friend that had a new Toyo pickup. She had water in her gas tank. The vehicle was only a few months old and purchased new. She took it to the dealer. It wasn't the vehicle, it was the gas station. It was an old gas station with broken underground fuel containers she used reguarly. The water was already in the gasoline they were selling. After successive fill ups the water built up in her gas tank until the truck would no longer run. The problem started out as loss of power, then stalling, then not running at all. This is why I never use old gas stations. I go to new stations or stations that have been remodeled and had the containers dug up and replaced.
