Understandable - but we have managed a superb reputation without needing to go to such extremes - Inspecting a fuel tank for loose debris , replacing fuel lines and filters, and get some fuel treatment as I mentioned (and charge a small per-dose fee - The stuff also helps keep carburetors clean, and conditions rubber parts, etc.) and you'll have much the same lack of comebacks (if not better) - with today's fuels , just cleaning a tank and flushing lines is not going to guarantee against a comeback - lines rot out from the inside so you'll still have lines flaking apart, cracking, leaking, etc.. even after flushing them - I think he's just got you doing busywork that is not needed at all - In my experience, replacing lines and a simple tank inspection is far better (and you make a profit on the fuel lines and clamps and doses of fuel treatment)andybcumming112 wrote:Yeah he keeps record of everything that comes in shop.

Pour out then fill with water to get soap out. Then go and blow out best you can then put shop towel inside and blow towel around to get all water out. How are y'all doing it. We do this for evryservice and when clean carb or put on new carb. Takes up too much time as I make 40% of labor. How are y'all doing it.
