Frankenpump and Premix
#26
Well get on with it Swoope! We don't have all day to sit around and wit for you to pull that beeatch out. Pics, we demand pics.
Preferably of hot girls in bikinis doing the work. I like it when they point to the work as it's being done. Like Barkers Beauties from the "Price is Right".

wow, thats awesome swoop.... i have to admit though this perplexes me. i dont keep up to much with the fuel pump and premix stuff, but from what i've seen this is evidence that contradicts everything else i've seen...

yea,
but lots of different stuff is going on.. next weekend i am going to talk and show smart people and ask questions about this stuff..
but i blame a lot of it on not premixing the premix. but more so in the early days 3 years ago when i tried lots of different stuff.
i got my hands on some synthetic 2 stoke virgin whale oil!
my big comment on this is dont dump and pump..
the common thread with those that have the issue during track weekends is premix..

so what about pumping in a little gas in the tank, than dump in the premix, then continue to fill the rest of the tank with gas...?
I readily admit that I am a bit confused here, as I have a hard time following swoope's posts. Sorry!

depending on what you are using for premix... some mix better than others..
i have mentioned this before. pick a container, at least one liter.. add oil, then fill with gas, shake.. when you are at half a tank add it..
then fill the rest of the way..
my fail is you win.
is that clear enough! and i do answer pm. so if you are shy ask a question..
i think really the problem is using not the best syn 2 stroke oil. btw, i payed 15 bucks for one. and as i poured it in i was thinking.. that stuff looks thick..

How about buying decent gas without a bunch of crap in it
I still stand by my theory that you guys get crappy gas down there
I premix..used multiple types...and have never had problems related to plugged up socks.......I do get all the other pump problems related to sloshing around though

This may sound naive, but are we really implying that:
1) adding premix to a gallon or so of gas at the bottom of the tank and then filling up 30 seconds later, is significantly worse than 2) adding premix to a half a tank and then filling up 30 seconds later?
My understanding was that premix oil mixes thoroughly with fuel. (Someone here, I think rotarygod, once posted about a jar of pre-mixed fuel, and it seemed stable) If this is the case, then I can't see why it would cause any pump filter problems. If it's NOT the case, then I can't see why it would matter much when you add the premix.
Does this logic sound reasonable to anyone else?

right now i am not mixing anything other than fp+.
and that might be the way i am going. i am going to do pump pulls and sock checks. that sounds dirty!
i had hoped to pull both sides of the tank and wipe everything down, but i missed the house with no fuel by .25 of a mile. yes i know my car well. with the angle of where the car ran dry it took 1 gal to get it going again.
so the full tank wipe has not happened..
beers :beer;
