Hey all, was winterizing my 05 lsv and poured some stabilizer in the tank and in the bottom of the bottle were flakes of whatever the stuff is made of and into the gas tank it went . I don't know how much just noticed some. I looked at the bottle and there is quite a bit of the flakes still in there so I added some gas to it and will see if it will dissolve. In the mean time I tilted up the trailer as far as possible and pumped the fuel out of the tank till the pump started cavitating.My fuel removing setup has a clear fuel filter on the suction side and I didn't see any flakes. Anyone have any idea the fuel tank suction tube configuration , does it have a screen in the bottom ? Thanks, Jim .

I did get a response from SC, it is about 1/2" from bottom of tank. The fuel stabilizer "stabil" flakes did desolve in the bottle with just a little bit of gas so
my fuel in the boat tank is probably ok. I did refuel about 10 gallons . FYI.
