Draining Water-infused Gasoline from DAUNTLESS

Postby ohana » Mon Mar 07, 2016 1:31 pm

Facing reality I need to drain about 25 gallons of water infused gas and bought pump from parts store; [do] I have to snake down the rear gas line? Or, is their other accessibility in the bilge?

If the boat is on a trailer, you can use the existing fuel line to drain a under floor tank. You just need a primer bulb at the end of a fuel line to get a syphon started.

I ran the fuel through a water separator filter and used it in my snowblower and mower. Don't run it in a automobile.

The inside diameter of a fuel hose on most Boston Whaler boats is usually too small for a human to pass through.

To remove fuel from a fuel tank, I don't understand why you would not use the existing fuel tank pick-up and outlet hose to remove the fuel.
