I have already got done getting the boat ready for the winter BUT I forgot one thing to put Fuel Stablizer in the tank. I have been using a outboard fuel tank for my mercruiser until I get to replace my internal tank. I have already removed the tank but what about the fuel inside the motor. Will it gel up on me during the winter? Do I or should I redo everything to make sure the stablizer mixes in with the gas in the motor. Or is it such a little amount I should worry about it. I have one other problem I noticed my manifold drain plug does't fit snug I have to retap it in the spring but if all the anti-freeze drips out will that be ok? I drained all the water out beFore I filled it with anti-freeze so there shouldnt be any water in there.

Re: Quick Question

Small amounts of fuel will go bad faster than large amounts. If it were me I would make sure the fuel is stable.<br /><br />As far as the leak goes fix it when you can. No liquid/water, cant freeze.
