Fuel Tank Debris

[Silvertip]

Some time ago I responded to someone who had a fuel delivery problem with a portable tank. I pointed out that I had checked several new tanks at a farm store and both of them had significant amounts of plastic debris in them from the manufacturing process. The reason I was checking them was that I had experienced a problem with an after market tank where huge amounts of plastic from the manufacturing process had plugged the fuel pickup and caused a fuel starvation issue. Well, this is what the debris looks like -- only this is from a 2 gallon container. I was mixing some fuel for my two stroke mower, weed whacker and chain saws and was a bit surprised to find it stuck to the screen on the spout. This small amount of debris didn't stop fuel flow but it gives you an idea what the stuff looks like.
