I have not been out for about 4 months, I left my tanks half full

My plan was to treat the current fuel with enzymes, burn 10 or 20
gallons, then fill the tanks and change filters.
Thoughts out there??


Why is it that Marine Fuel Tanks, never have a Water Trap Drain, in
them like ALL Stationary Fuel Tanks do????? It would be so easy to
deal with this type of stuff if they did. Just open the valve and
slowly pump out the bottom 5% of the tank, thru a 10 Micron RaCor
and be done with it for the season. Not Rocket Science, just smart
Engineering. Simple, easy to do, and effective. You don't really even
have to have a valve on the Trap Line if you use it as a
"SightGlass/Vent" and have it plumbed up a couple of feet above the Tank
Top.

Bruce in alaska one who wonders about such stuff......

Good point.
