I recall this being common/possible on the moombas.

Also a good idea to exercise your killswitch contacts.

Good thought. I did run it all and am filling it up full tomm. Didn't run it dry, but till last bar was gone. I use Eth free 100% of the time. Do you think I should add treatment before I fill tomm?

When I first got my Max I killed it like 3 or 4 times my first few outings before I realized what I was doing and hitting the kill switch by accident. I made mental note and changed my sitting position slightly to keep my right knee away from it.

Maybe my seat hit it. I tend to stand and drive as I feel more comfortable seeing around the boat etc. I turn the seat in for more space for me to stand. I am going to look at this position and see if it could have been that. 996 and Hak thanks

I would still throw a treatment in the tank that has a water emulsifier in it. It will help get any moisture out if this is your problem. A high volume station is least likely to have debris or moisture in the underground storage.

A loose fuel pump relay could be a thing also.

Ahhhhhh...this could be the culprit! I did have a bahama moma hat hanging from it at first. I think I took it off after that, and never hung it back on for the trip. It sat on the dash board. This is why I like this fricken forum! Everyone or someone out there has run into the same issue at some point in time. I thikn that might be it.!!! I am going to check it out tomm. Thanks

Down 64 cents here since the peak. Only $1.30 more to go until normal.

After $5 gas, I will not be fooled by $4 being acceptable when $3 is the benchmark.
