"a whole tank of gas"??
I wish I only used that much since is costs 1.33 per liter right
now and the inboard tank holds 60 liters.
I realize you are trying to make a funny but you'd best stick with
your day job.....oh wait..you don't have one.

I would drain that tank and use it in my car.

It is a lot easier to deal with a few CCs of condensation in the
tank
than $60-70 worth of stale gas.
As dry as it is in the winter, you might not even have that.


Most small boats I have seen lately with built in fuel tanks don't
have
drains. You'd have to pump or siphon it out somehow, and that's not a
fun thing to do with gallons of gasoline.

One of the center console outboard boats I once owned had a built-in
100 gallon gas tank. I decided to tow it down to Florida one winter
and realized the tank was full. So, I bought a cheap fuel pump for
a Chevy or something at Auto Zone and some gas lines. I hooked the
hose up to the line in the boat that feed into the fuel filter,
hooked up a battery and filled up my truck, my wife's car, our
neighbor's car and anyone who stopped by who wanted some free gas.
Better than hauling 100 gallons of gas down Rt. 95.
