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!!


It's downhill, I'd let gravity do the work. 55 gallon tank at the top
of the hill, run some hosing approved for gasoline, and at the bottom,
an approved valve.
