[QUOTE="jeepjoe43, post: 429011, member: 19255"] OK, after seeing that blob of goo, I'm about 99% sure it did NOT come from your motor. There is just too much of it. It looks like the crap I have scraped out the bottom of solvent tanks. Old service stations, especially rural and mom & pop types, have a dirty little secret. 30 years ago I was warned by friends NOT to buy gas at our local service station, one was a mechanic there and told me why. Before the owner would order a load of gas, he'd dump their waste oil in the storage tanks for the pumps to dispose of it. What's 5-10 gallons of oil in 10,000 gallons of gas, right? What doesn't mix with the gas falls to the bottom, some of it floats to the top. What falls to the bottom may float on a layer of water. I've never bought gas at a service station since. I think you may have unwittingly bought your problem. [/QUOTE]
