It seemed to have dirt or gravel in the fuel. I not only disposed of all 25 gallon, but rinsed it 3 times with about 2 gallons each. It looked like I had almost no dirt in the last rinse, so I pulled the pickup tube, (still have scares almost a month later) and it had the same type material on it. Cleaned it off, and it would pass air easily. It ran great for about an hour and a half, and then sucked the squeeze bulb in again! It ran fine like as always in a bucket of full.... Has anyone ever had the inside of the tank come loose? Although.... it seems to be the dirt. Not sure how it got in there, as I am meticulous about cleanliness and fluids. What if the pickup screen was done away with and just the spring left, and put in a second inline fuel filter?</p></blockquote><p></p>
