To repair, I siphoned as much gas out of the tank as I could, connected all the fuel lines back together, and dumped all of the gas out of the fuel filter in my motor. Filled the fuel filter about halfway back up with gas, then mounted the filter back on. Filled the tank with 6 gallons of non-ethanol premium 91 gas and a can of seafoam.
Tried to start the engine and it is turning over but not starting. Any thoughts on how to repair? Here is a picture of the fuel filter.
Thanks!
