Old gas in tank

[Bass Cat Boats]

There is no port and if an electric fuel pump is available you could just pump it into containers. Using a fuel pump connected to the 3/8″ fuel line that goes to the engine from the valving. You can connect the fuel pump hose at the valve and remove it with the pump. The next option is to simply siphon the fuel through the fill neck, using a hose and stick to support the onhose extending into the tank. There is an anti siphon valve on the pickp that will not allow the siphon to function on the pickup line. Obviously 3 year old fuel has to be removed and we are suspect you will see phase separation and moisture in the fuel.

Thanks! Ill let Martys Marine handle this problem. If I put new gas into the dry side tanks, will I have any problems using the Opti to get the boat on the trailer?

You might so run a fuel additive in that gas and let it cleanse the fuel system. Please let it idle at least 20 minutes to flush the lines, parts and system. Otherwise we suspect it wont power up.

I saw someone on these boards that had a great idea. Use a cheap 12v fuel pump for a car attached to fuel hose in front of primer bulb and pump it out.Dave

Those can siphon or pump through the fill on a 2006 model.
