[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1397430, member: 19880"] "Bad" gas is almost always a function of failed storage tanks at individual stations rather than a poor product from the manufacturer. "Green gunk" sounds like oxidized copper or brass although nickel or "reduced" iron can also be greenish. I suppose it could be some sort of organic goo although I have no idea where it would come from. In any case, it is very likely a function of water in the fuel in the station's holding tanks (or at the local distribution depot). No excuse for that kind of shit. If you can pin it down to one supplier, I would go after them - for a new OEM pump plus labor!! If it turns out to be a gummed up fuel pump related to bad fuel, make sure you carefully check the inside of your tank for corrosion. Good find on the replacement pump. If you need it, I hope it works for you (but I hope it turns out that you don't need it). [/QUOTE]
