That would be great if you could help me out with swapping the fuel filter and the use of the 20L fuel can. Whereabouts are you in Aurora. I'm in Bayview/St. John's Sideroad area. Do you know where I can get a fuel filter?

Ok great. I'll have to swing by there tonight or tomorrow and pick that up. Is there any particular additive that you recommend I pick up? I know someone mentioned using Power Service.

I just went on Pfaff VW's website and it says that they're only open until 5PM weekdays. I only get into Aurora on the GO Train after 6PM. Hmm maybe I'll have to send the wife there for it.

Purge the fuel filter housing, add fresh D2 in the housing and add a little two stroke (non TCW3) to the tank and pump that puppy full of D2. You will be fine.

NO! IF you are going to put 2-stroke oil into your tank, PLEASE make sure it is ashless TCW3!
