hello all

do you expect problems with condensated water in the fueltank
after the boat was standing outside during winther ?
how do you handle that problem, or do you simply ignore it ?
are there any technical tipps, additives for the gasoline or
other things to do ?

Half the people who respond to this question say gasoline already has
additives to keep it from going bad, so nothing is necessary except maybe
to top off the tank. Others say you should use a preservative. I've done
both and I have not seen a difference in the ability of the motor to
start happily in the spring.

However, I would like to nominate a certain group of people for the death
penalty: "Engineers" who design portable gas tanks in such a way that
it's impossible to pour gas out of them without getting it all over the
place. Same people, I think, who design the spouts on Pyrex measuring
cups. These "engineers" deserve death by hot soldering iron, nice & slow.


If every career that you've designated for the death penalty actually
did that, there wouldn't be anybody left to buy groceries. :)



Is the list getting that big? :-)
