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

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.
