That's what I thought. g If I unplug my fuel pump while it's running, it
continues to run until it's fuel starved. That way, I know there's no fuel
in the carb or cylinders. Treat what's left in the tank, and that's it.

Not true, the carb bowl will still be half full. Try removing the drain
plug after the engine stops due to fuel starvation, you'll see what I mean.

Hi. I am winterizing a Mercruiser 2001 MX6.2L MPI engine with Cool
Fuel.
First time winterizing a fuel injected engine. Book says I need to
turn off
fuel supply, take out water sep fuel filter, poor 2-cycle oil into it,
reinstall fuel filter, and run engine until it stops.

Need to turn off the fuel pump to do this as there is no shut-off valve
(why
do boat builders never put fuel shut off valves in boats anymore).
There is
no breaker for the fuel pump. Anybody know a trick to turn off or
disable
the fuel pump to get the job done?

Unplug it if it's electrical.

it wont run with the fuel pump unplugged, no fuel pressure = no fuel =
no run.

Yeah - that's the question - how to turn off or disable the fuel pump.
That's what he asked.

Take care.
