Title: Bad Gas
Post by: 78 Tahiti on September 23, 2009, 01:53:55 PM

Like a moron I did not add the stabilizer  :banghead:to the gas at the end of last season and I had just finally got the floor done my seats back for that last river run over labor day and ended up having to float my boat for 3 hours to the closest boat launch down river all because of bad gas, I was wondering what is the easiest way of dumping the tanks with out taking them out.

Siphon!! Or if you have a electric fuel pump just unhook the line from the carb and turn the key on!

Siphon hose is the cheapest way I can think of, you could always get a vacuum pump and go that route.

I'd go with the electric fuel pump.  Even if you don't have one buy a cheapie, you'll have
it for your next brain fart  ::)
