So your saying the more gas you have in the tank the more the pressure on the floats when on prime? The reason why I ask is I normally store the 90 GSE with at least a half a tank with Sta-bil in it. I would think it would be good practice to leave it on pri in storage to keep fresh fuel in the system as it evaporates?

You genius ... I am telling you nearly the opposite ...
BTW I have seen gas gum up, stick the floats open, flow from the tank drains into the airbox, gums up and literally the whole system had black tar on it ... nasty.
Cool.

Mr Buddha if I use Sta-Bil properly there is no way the gas can "GUM UP" it will not let the gas coagulate into a sludge. So what I was asking if there is more air would that not be a better way of doing things?
