You can add one whole bottle of Startron to kill the fungus then keep
on adding it per fillup to retard it's re - formation , unless you
run the tank down to 1/4 or less , it'll take _forever_ to get it all
out .

I keep having black fuel that looks like coffee and tiny chunks of
God knows what , in my intake screen but every time I remove the fuel
tank screen , it is clean as a whistle so I think that maybe a lot of
fuel being sold has fungus allready growing in it...

Bummer , that .
