How can I empty gas from fuel tank

How can I empty gas from the fuel tank

Put a hose in it and suck it out. Knowing what the tank is on would help a lot. Sometimes there is a spot you can unhook the fuel line and pour it into a different tank. Depending where the fuel pump is you can jump it and pump it into a different tank.

LOL just saw this was in the Lund form. You can unhook the fuel line at the primer ball and attach another hose to the end. Put a gas tank lower than the onboard tank and prime the ball. Once you get it started gravity should do the rest.

Get some hours on the water to run it mostly down!

I was gonna say…you could just run the motor until the gas is gone.

Thanks I wish I could. Do to health reasons I can’t get out

I prefer to leave my tank full over the winter, but if you must drain it the others gave good recommendations.

How come Joe

The more fuel you have in your tank the less room for condensation to form is the theory gimruis. It is a recommendation by many mfg’s now. For internal tank systems anyway…

Gotcha

Joe and Erik are correct. As full as possible with some fuel stabilizer mixed in, your gas will stay in good condition for at least a year and perhaps longer depending on a number of other factors.

If there’s headspace there’s air, and where there’s air there’s moisture. Upon weather changes that moisture will condense inside the tank then drip down into the fuel.

So if I store my boat indoors where weather is not an issue, then moisture can’t accumulate, correct?

Also, I don’t need to use stabilizer because I exclusively use ethanol-free premium gas.

I am no expert, but I personally would not operate under that assumption, no. I’ve heard that non-oxy gas has a shelf life of about 6 months before it starts to get bad untreated. For most that tuck it away for less than that, you’re probably okay. However, you never really know for sure how old it was when you put it in your tank either. In the end, gas evaporates leading to moisture. More of a problem from within than climate.

I would like to point out the their is blue and red stable. Blue, marine stable is for short term and red stable is for long term. Red should always be used for winter storage. (IMO)
