Question to Revive a Boat Motor
I have just purchased a boat that has been setting for around two years
without being in the water. The boat's internal tank is about half full of gasoline/oil mix. He should have used StaBil to Stabilize the gasoline in the tank but didn't and now I have a boat that's been setting for a couple of years now (yes years) with the same Gasoline in the Boat's tank. It's an Evinrude 175HP Outboard motor and the tank is a 14 gallon (I think) Internal tank that is about half full of fuel. I don't want to attempt to start the boat, with the fuel that's' in the boat now unless I can know I can take precautions that won't cause the fuel to damage my motor. Is there any additives that I can put in the tank that will revitalize the fuel (Octane boost)that is there now or do I just need to pump as much out as I can? Since it's half full would filling it up with High Octane Premium gas along with additives help or keep me from having to drain out all the fuel that's in it now? I appreciate all your answers, in advance. |
