My motorcycle mech said that the Gas we get now is luck to last a month.? He said the stuff they us is not like the Old days when you could leave it all winter and just add some new and go.? Maybe it's a sign of the times???

I have a brand new Tohatsu 6 with a brand new tank and brand new fuel line. The last two times I took Seafrog out, I had trouble pumping fuel to the engine. I disconnected the fuel line from the engine, pushed in the springloaded release and pumped. Nada. Then I disconnected it at the tank thinking the fuel pickup wasn't down into the fuel. That's when I saw this yellow thick flem in the pickup tube. I shook it out and replaced the fuel line into the tank. I pumped the bulb while holding in the springloaded valve and it pumped out more of this yuck. The gas is fresh. Is there a possibility that this is an ethanol issue?
