How to Siphon Gasoline from Fuel Tank
Posted: Sat Jul 15, 2023 4:28 pm
I tried to use a syphon [more common spelling is siphon] pump to remove fuel from the fuel tank of an OUTRAGE 17, but it did not work.
Q1: do I have to open one of the ports that are on the [cockpit] deck to access the fuel tank more directly?
BACKSTORY
I have not run my E-TEC 115-HP engine on the water for about a year. I do run the engine about every 30-days on a hose adaptor. The gasoline in the fuel tank was treated with a gasoline stabilizer.
I am concerned that water is condensing in the fuel tank.
I live in southern Georgia.
