My father hasn't used his rig for over 8 months, so i'm a little concerned about the fuel inside the engine. He didn't stabilize the fuel prior to storage. Is there something I can do or do I need to haul it to a dealer. Thanks for your help.
Bad Fuel, has a real strong smell, crack the VSE drain plug, if you gag its rotten gas, drain VSE, and replace Water seperating fuel filter on engine,<br />Stick your nose in the Fuel filler on the boat if tank gas is bad, siphon it out.<br />Cheers
If in fact it is only eight months old, I doubt you will have any problems. If the tank isnt full, top it off with fresh mid grade fuel. After running it for a bit, change the water separator, if it has one. I personally have never had eight month old fuel go bad enough to cause a problem unless it got a bunch of water in it. It may not run perfectly on the older fuel, but I dont believe it will hurt a thing.
