September 24, 201113 yr Moderator Easy diagnosis. Electoplasm. The bike is possessed. You need to call I would guess the additives stop the old type "varnish" forming but this muck isn't any better.
September 24, 201113 yr Moderator IMHO I think it was lined. The new stuff is ethanol proof, but only just!
September 29, 201113 yr Author IMHO I think it was lined. The new stuff is ethanol proof, but only just! sorry guys I have been working away for a couple of weeks so not had time to reply, yep it has a ethanol proof lining well suppossed to be the last lot of petrol I put in was some shell super unleaded, I can oly think of two things 1, the super unleaded has a higher octane level, and its reacting with the por 15 lining or as it more ethenol 2, the fuel at the petrol station as been cross contaminated in the tanks , and with the cost of the petrol and people not buying super unleaded it as sat in there tanks for a while 3 the super unleaded fuel in their tanks was low , and I have filled up using all their dregs ethanol absorbs/ pulls moisture from the air , it then reacts with the petrol then sinks to the bottom of the tank , I have bought some stabiliser and will brim the tank or drain whats left from now on before putting it away for the year just dont leave any tanks half empty / full
