What Is The
Best Way To Drain 60 Gallons Of Fuel From A 21 Scarab. I Tried To Siphon It Out But That Does Not Seem To Work. The Reason That I Am Asking Is The Fuel Has Been In The Tank For 3 Months Now With No Stabilizer Since I Was Not Expecting It To Be This Long Of A Rebuild. My Other Question Is Can I Just Drain Some Out And Replace With Aviation Fuel And How Much. Thanks Patrick

Re: What Is The
Burn it.... it probably isn't that bad yet. It usually takes about 1 year for gas to be bad enough that it varnishes up everything.

I Have Been Told That This 10 Percent Ethanol Breaks Down In 2 To 4 Weeks. I Was Thinking That I Could Pull 20 Gallons Out Then Replace With Race Or Aviation Fuel Since I Am Running 10.5:1 Comp.

Re: What Is The
Get a cheap electric fuel pump($50) from a parts store and connect a hose to either end and siphon it out.

Re: What Is The
I Will Give That A Try. Atleast I Can Burn It In My Truck. :d

Its pretty easy, I can help you next weekend if you havent gotten to it by then, I have the pump and the hose, but unfortunately my bro is in the hospital this weekend and I have to be with him.

Re: What Is The
40' excalibur hawk, I am going to run in lake conroe for a while, then clear lake as well. I work in pasadena, so I will have the hose and fuel pump with me there. Things are looking up for my brother, hell of a deal, went in to have his appendix out, and then a staple broke a week after surgery that put him in ICU,its been going on for two weeks, if he is out of the hospital by the weekend, Im there, if he isnt, U can still borrow my hose and pump, :drink:
