Assuming you can get the Jeep down the hill and back up.
Get you an inexpensive electric fuel pump from the local parts store.
Get a switch, wire, cigerette lighter adapter, hose.

Use the fuel pump to siphen fuel from the jeep (or any vehicle you can get
down to the boat) to the boat.

I know people who do this and it works fine. You can use as much hose as
you like for the most part. The pump will need to be as close as possible
to the Jeep. You can stand at the boat and switch it on and off w/ the
remote switch.

This setup will cost you about $100.00. Saving 50 cents a gallon it will
take 200 gallons to break even over buying it on the water. Plus you have
the agravation of doing this instead of going and filling up somewhere on
the water.

ps.com...
I'm looking for some advice on a quick, convenient, safe, and legal way
to get gasoline into my ski boat. I live on the lake and keep my boat
at my dock. From the driveway to the boat is about 170 feet, all
downhill. I know that I could probably buy a gas caddy (i.e. Gas Pal,
Gas Walker, etc.), but the terrain is kind of rugged and I think it
might not be that easy getting the caddy down the hill safely; esp.
considering how heavy it would be when full. Heck, it's hard enough to
walk up the hill without the caddy. I prefer not to pull the boat out
and tow it to the station; that's what I've been doing, but am looking
for a way to save time). Also, I don't think I could install any kind
of large fuel tank here due to homeowners association restrictions. I
should also mention that the boat has a 25 gallon built-in tank. Since
I drive my Jeep by the gas station regularly anyway, it sure would be
nice if I could find a safe way to pump or siphon fuel from it into the
boat. Suggestions?
Thank-you!!
