That's pretty wild. So may ways for these things to cause us problems.

I've been using Power Plus for the past 10 years, with no issues at all. The last 2 off seasons I never drained the system or the fuel cell.
Zero corrosion, no more white specks in the float bowls. Over the last few years I have cut the amount of top lube I use in half, just like a lot of the Klotz Uplon users have, with no downside.
(I also add a small splash of Wild Cherry scent to it).

Think thats half whats causing mine to stop up also. finding crytal looking crap in nozzles. This last time it was from hose.Not sure if did not clean out enough or if one is decaying or somewthing. So not all the Klotz.

For the people looking for the blue lube, the actual name of it is, "Alky racing alcohol additive". Busler Enterprises in evansville indiana stocks it, also, Hannarhan in Hopkinsville, KY stocks it as well.

You could have a bad fitting that is rotting from the inside out. Seen that plenty of times with alcohol.

^^^ This. Also, I once added a large -10 anodized aluminum filter plumbed between my fuel cell & pump. It was specifically made for alcohol fuels. Maybe a month after installing it, I found a bunch of white chunks in the float bowls. Unscrewed the end off the filter, and it turned out all the crap was coming from the 30 micron "stainless" mesh filter media. Ditched the filter, problem solved.

The Power Plus version is not the same as this version.

Have no0t had white crap in nozzle for while but since do have a 19AN canister filter inline it could be possible. Right now got to find out which hose is causing problem figure since return no longer go;s threw filter all are suspect. Found two stopped nozzles today when fired car up, Will be taking whole system apart Friday morning early, Testing Friday night and at Cahrlotte Thursday for bs with TA/ D and FC buds.

May give blue lube a shot too.

I used the blue lube with Hank Thomas fuel for years, never had corrosion. After the blue lube became unavailable I switched to Klotz. Now I have corrosion and pink crud in my fuel system.

He had the blue last fall when I picked up four barrels at the racer sale.
