Johnny.....I operate on a 5 month use and 7 month storage schedule.
Manual says to treat gas and run for a bit and then fog
cylinders.....which is exactly what the dealer does at the end of the
season. And yes, this is a 4 stroke motor and no one confuses 2 stroke
oil with 4 stroke.
In the spring I burn off the previous years treated gas and then change
my water filter. Motor starts up right away and might smoke for a
couple of minutes...but works well after warming up.


Why would you keep gas over the winter? When you cover the boat for
winter, pour the gas in the RAV4 from all the gas cans. Start new in the
spring. I have had problems with my boat and old gas after an extended
layup. But my tank is harder to empty. 70 gallons.



Perhaps you can travel up to where Don lives and suck on the rubber hose
that goes into his boat's fuel tank in order to start the suction.


Some of us are smarter than hack writers. Use a funnel form the gas can.
Has a hose with a primer bulb. Hold the check ball open with a small nail
and raise the tank higher than the car filler and let the fuel siphon in.
You really are not that intelligent. And you constantly prove the Theorem.
