"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.


Let's face it. Anything that involves physical labor, however slight,
isn't fun for you.
