Dang! That's encouraging. I have a piece of turf stuffed between the pipe and tank right in that spot where it makes the bend.
Now you're making me want to stuff turf in between on my ski. That's crazy John!!! I guess that would explain your lack of engine performance the past few weeks, huh?

I have a piece of turf there too. Seems to do the job.

When I had the FX1 gas tank in my boat, I used a piece of rubber. The turf breaks down over time with all the rubbing and heat.

I had a piece of turf in there also but with all my reinforcing its tight! The turf wedged in there doesn't last too long. I invent new cuss words every time I have to pull my tank. I've been running it like this, watching it slowly grind away for over three years now so I'm actually not complaining. I guess I'm just going to keep running it as it is (after I get the pipe re-welded of course!) when the tank goes I'll just buy another one, they're not to expensive. I hope I catch it before it turns into an SJ motoff cocktail!

Gotta glue the turf to the tank....................Mine kept coming out until I prepped the tank and glued it, now its money!
On a side note, I plugged a cooling line w/o knowing (pipe screw I think, as it was pissing fine) and it started to melt the tank, but did no damage. I thought sure it was a goner!
You are correct, that is some bad stuff they use!
