Hi folks,
how does anyone deal with Victa fuel tanks that don't completely use up their fuel supply? I always seem to have one or two cm of fuel left when the mower acts like it's run out of fuel and I have to top up before I can run again. It also almost never drains completely when I manually drain the fuel into a bottle through the hose that enters the carby.
It's a problem during storage as the petrol evaporates and leaves richer fuel / oil at the bottom, resulting in rich fuel next time I put more fuel in. I am reluctant to add straight petrol first, in case I make the mix too lean. I guess going from 25:1 to 30 -40:1 won't hurt it occasionally?
Why does this happen and does it mean I have to change the fuel tap / clean the filter?
