Hi all,

The season is about to end and I have 3/4 tank of gas in the boat. What
are the proper storage procedure for the new and improved gasoline. I
assume you just pour in stabilizer but was concerned with the decay issue
of
the ethanol.

Thanks

Too late. Stabilizer must be added when the gas is fresh to do any good.
Siphon
the remaining gas out and use it in your car. Add some fresh gas with
stabilizer
to the boat's tank and run the engine enough to be sure that the carb and
lines
have fresh, stabilized gas in them.

Perhaps the OP put the gas in yesterday, ran off a 1/4 tank and now is
asking the question. Shouldn't be too late to add stabilizer if that's the
case. I try to remember to add the stabilizer at the beginning of the
season as I seldom use a full tank with my fishing motor.
