Ashamed to admit I actually fell for that one and there are two floating around in my tank now. What did Barnum say? Something about a sucker? By the way, what did they look like from a condition standpoint? Someone told me recently that the inside of the tanks has a plastic liner and that these fuel pellants will bang around and chip off the liner leading to clogged fuel line etc.......dont believe that either.
