NO WAY NO HOW NO....

200 gallons of good gas plus 10 gallons of bad gas equals 210 gallons of bad gas...

get rid of ALL of it.


That said awesome that she's free now.... hopefully your good luck continues

I use a cheapo electric fuel pump and enough fuel hose to reach the can outside the boat... jack up one side of trailer or pull onto a block or ramp and then raise or lower tongue to make gas run to a corner.

then pump or siphon from there... NO shop vac.... can you say BOOM.


use 3/8 fuel hose n either pump or siphon... hint: you can run it through the bilge drain in the transom if it's long enough

if it looks like a fuel filter it's probably the fuel filter?

Was just thinking.... Maybe it wasn't really seized in the first place.... Maybe the starter was the whole problem???
