Fill it up and then siphon it out into 5 gallon jerry jugs while it's
on the trailer ?

Why have all those cans? Run it almost dry, when you get home siphon
off the last bit of fuel, then go to the gas pump and refill the
tank...

Good plan.


Taking the boat out with antique gas doesn't sound like a great idea
to me, but it still smells at least half way useable. It might cough
and sputter some. But getting towed in over crap fuel and/or clogged
fuel filters isn't too apealing
