How often should fuel filters and water separators be replaced?

At every scheduled service at minimum, and any time you see water or debris in the bowl.

Can you clean a fuel tank that has old or bad gas?

Yes. We remove the bad fuel and clean the tank so contamination does not keep reaching the engine.

What is a primer bulb problem and how is it fixed?

A bulb that will not firm up usually has a cracked check valve or a leak in the line. Replacing the bulb and checking the fittings typically fixes it.

FAQ

Fuel System Service Questions

Look at the clear bowl on your water separator. Water settles to the bottom as a separate layer. Sputtering at speed and hard starts after rain are also clues.
