Every 5th tank I fill up the car with gas and do not add any premix. I think from now on I am only going to put 5 gallons on every 6th tank.
This way I am cleaning out any buildup of premix I may be accumulating.
Do you think this is a bad idea??

I am talking accumulation in the tank. I have in the past had problems with plugs fouling so I decided when I am only going to be driving around town to just not add premix and fill it up. This way I know I am sort of cleaning out the system sort of speak.
BTW - I add 4 oz. per tankfull in an FC. I have no OMP. When I race I mix 6oz.

My gas guage has always done that.. in fact after like 50 miles, it goes to 1/2 and just sits there lol.
Bigturbo, how much are you putting in?

the oil pressure, fuel, and temp gauges are all junk, they utilize a bimetallic strip which flexes as a result of heating from a wire wrapped around em. That is the motor that drives the gauge, take the stock gauge cluster and throw it as far as you can.
