Yes I tried a new tap, it was okay for about 5 weeks, then I found it would not turn off, took it off and opened it up and found the rubber valve had melted !

Forget the 550 for now. Start bottling and shipping that real gas. You'll make millions.

Actually, a coworker of mine who used to work on prepping yachts for storage/useage, told me you can get ethanol free gas at some/most marinas. He also said the gas itself was cheaper since it's not for road use. (don't get busted, though.)

I am sure this is slightly off topic, but on the past page the shot of the bike with the seat on it... MAN oh MAN love love love that seat! Obviously new with how it looks its either a whole new seat or a new seat cover but you did a great job and love how it looks, nice job!
