Re: Recommend Fuel Tank Tester; Finding Source of Water in Fuel

When you are in the position to replace the tank I can get you hooked up with the guys that cut and bent the aluminum for mine.... if you want, I will get a quote for them to weld it too... Great. I will take you up on the above in the winter. Got the rest of the fuel out of the tank last night and...

Re: Recommend Fuel Tank Tester; Finding Source of Water in Fuel

Got the foam in the rear out plus 16 gallons of nasty, stinky water.

Re: Recommend Fuel Tank Tester; Finding Source of Water in Fuel

Thank you for your reply. I am leaving the old tank in there for now. I have a spare pump and may dig the foam out as it is pretty wet in the rear. I don't want water to collect back there.

Re: Recommend Fuel Tank Tester; Finding Source of Water in Fuel

Pulled the rear plate. Tank is bad. I am thinking of digging the foam out in the rear and putting a bilge pump down there. The foam is wet at the rear of the tank. Should I put a bilge pump down there? Tank is completely empty of fuel.

Re: Recommend Fuel Tank Tester; Finding Source of Water in Fuel

That is my plan. 129 gallons is far to much gas for how I use the boat. Besides storing the boat I never fill above 1/2 tank. This gives me plenty of range and worst case there are plenty of fuel docks along the bay. I am meeting with a welder this afternoon to discuss a above deck temp tank. I have...

Re: Recommend Fuel Tank Tester; Finding Source of Water in Fuel

If it were my boat, I would just replace the tank. At 30 years old, it's definitely at life's end, probably not worth the effort to confirm that a hole is present. I don't disagree with the above. Just do not want to replace a tank that has life in it and sit out most of my fishing season. Has anyo...

Ethanol blend. Unfortunately it is the only fuel available in the area.

Re: Recommend Fuel Tank Tester; Finding Source of Water in Fuel

I don't see the event listed when the engines stalled. Stalled on the 23rd. The [mystery] that I am having: how did that much water get in the tank in a week? It rained but not that much. The tank would have to have a major hole or crack in it. I have the boat on the trailer now and it has been rai...

Re: Recommend Fuel Tank Tester; Finding Source of Water in Fuel

...Please straighten out the narrative. Give the amount of fuel in the tank at each point, and how much was burned or added. As it stands, it does not add up right. --put boat in the water on April 13. Tank level was 1/8-FULL or lower --add 40-gallons fuel April 16 --fished April 18t. Burned 35 gal...

Re: Water in fuel / 1989 22' outrage

Thank you for your input. This is the first year that I did not have the tank full over the winter. The fuel is definitely a blend. Only gas available in the Baltimore area.

I will have to look. I have a super console and I believe the forward hatch is blocked.

Re: Water in fuel / 1989 22' outrage

Talked to my mechanic. He thinks it was condensation build up from over the winter and years. I have never drained the tank fully or run the tank down that low.

Recommend Fuel Tank Tester; Finding Source of Water in Fuel

I have a 1989 22' Outrage Cuddy Whaler Drive with twin Yamaha F115 engine and the original fuel tank. Yesterday, I went out, and made two- miles down the creek, and the first engine died. I turned around, got back to about 100-yards of my dock, and the second engine died. The boat was pulled [from t...
