Boat fuel

Post by Kennyboy » Sun Jan 30, 2022 12:25 pm

Hi all, filled my tank up with fuel just before original covid restrictions hit, 2 years ago, (?), did add stabilizer not long after, but was wondering if the fuel would still be safe to use.

If no good how do I get rid of it, 50 litre underfloor tank.

Disconnect fuel hose from the outboard. Poke the hose out the bung hole. Pump it out into Jerry cans. Stick 10-20l at a time into your petrol car each fillup if you have one and use it up that way.

I’d be refreshing the lot with stabiliser added to the first tank.
