Common Questions:

With the addition of Methanol to the gasoline Nation wide, how do I treat or protect my marine fuel system?

A: First, lets get one thing clear. THERE IS NO TREATMENT FOR ALCOHOL, PERIOD. Alcohol must be either removed through distilling or consumed, in this case, burned with the gasoline. The problem is that alcohol has an affinity for water. Since boats have a basically open fuel system, vented to atmosphere, the problem of water absorbsion by the alcohol is more prominent. Your car on the otherhand, has a basically closed system making water absorption more difficult. The only way to deal with the problem in your boat is to use an effective suspension agent and a good easily changeable  water separator/fuel filter device. We find the following products work effectively in suspending the water to a point, while providing adaqaute fuel stability, system cleanliness and lubrication.
Sta-Bil Original
STP Fuel Injection Cleaner
Mercury QuickStore
NEVER add dry gas to your boat’s fuel system.

Why is the water dirty as

Seveys?

A: Weather, the fact that we have a gravel ramp and driveway, and we are on the outlet of Little Bear Creek,  contribute to some of the problem. The majority of the constant turbidity comes from our neighbors constant mining and grading operation on the point. The continual daily,  all day operation has significantly destabilized the point so that if there is any wave action at all, turbidity results. The fact that much of the point has been altered also contributes to the problem.

How are jobs scheduled?

A:  Jobs and shop workload is scheduled in the order received on a first come first served basis. This is why we require 2 weeks notice for “out of storage” requests.
