Thanks. That's good advise and makes sense

I tossed out a 1 year old gas tank because of that mucked up gas.
Hard lesson learned

Around here on the pumps there is a disclosure on them. Certain times of the year fuel may contain ?% of ethanol. I don't remember if its summer or winter?

That was the only time it happened.
