Familiar story. Those carburetor diaphragms only last me one season now. And ethanol has in one way or another screwed up my chainsaw, weedeater, push mower, riding mower, generator.

Its hard to keep up.

My favorite was the fuel line in my car...rusted from the inside out. Replacing that was a bundle of fun.

I’m lucky that there aren’t vehicle inspections in my state. I’ve got a minor fleet of old cars, and I doubt any of them have functioning O2 sensors.

I just can’t wait until they put even more of this junk in our fuel.

I’d like to get hold of the bastard that thought all this up and hitch him up to my trailer hitch and give him a 5 wheel tow for about an hour.

We had the same fuel line issue with the Yukon.

First the line was frozen from all the water and when we replaced it, it was rusted rotten inside.

Coulda been worse... We thought the engine had seized.

Oddly enough that happened right after Himself accidentally filled it with Flexfuel.
