drained the tank today , what i seem to see are small bits of what seems to be fat from wvo . it melts under heat of a flame , pics when i sort my pc out.

These could be sucked onto the pick up gauze in tank causing the fuel blockage.

here is the $$$$ im getting in my tank , looks and feels like fat from wvo , god only knows how much is in the tank until i drop the tank and wash it out properly. Anyone else using wvo may face similar problems .

Took off the tank and cleaned it out , full of fat flakes from 3 times filtered wvo . fuel intake was sucking it onto its filter mesh and starving surf of fuel. all sorted now surf runs at 80 mph all day long on derv/svo mix with no fuel cut off. thank ffft .

Looks like the wvo you were using was used for frying meat products.
