yeah i had the same problem on my 67 bug, the dual 48 webber carbs kept gumming
up with crap and back firing and not wanting to run right, but the inside the
fuel tank looked clean. finally we figured out that it was the ethanol which is
actually a "detergent" and it was freaking cleaning out my 40 year gas lines. i
installed 3 fuel filters inline and have been changing them about once every 2
months, no problems since then. but it's a pain in the ass.

if i get a new clutch put in my bug i'm going to be at the swarm on sat!

This 10% ethanol is damaging gas tanks across America , the local car show
radio guy is getting tons of calls about the problem. Mark O - Mark and I blew
air back through the gas line into the tank as some metal partially blocked the
tank filter and some of the gunk got into the carb. I Just wanted to give yaʼll
a heads up on this potential problem, really bad for a forty year old tank.
