Not Ranked
Happened in my powerboat, found my fuel filter drowning in brown water and sludge.
Found that if I drove the boat at fairly high revs I'd loose power or even have the outboard stop. If I ran at a lower rate the thing would run pretty constantly.
Cleaned filter and tank and no hiccups the next time out even at full tilt.
My marine mechanic said that 70% of his engine work involved cleaning out crap fuel. It's more common than we think.
Mind you we have an independent at the end of the court and where I was filling the boat. No more fuel from this place.
