Pump it out. Use some of it in your everyday vehicles, mix it in with fresh gas. The rest, throw a little in the boat every time you refuel with fresh 93. Or, add some 110, and use up the old stuff quicker.:cool:

Ask Dave, he'll give you the right advice on how much to mix.:D

Lots of opinions.....none on the pri additive? Guess I'll hit up Wesco for some 110 ans take it easy....

how big is your tank and how much is in there ?? Stabil is good for one year, they say if your going to leave it longer to add double the amount and it's o.k. for 2 years. Depending on how much you have in there, I would top it off with fresh and run it..

Dyno,

I agree with adding 10-15 gallons of 110 leaded racing fuel. You will be good to go!

And what is this non-sense of getting rid of the boat ...? Did you see the video posted here recently of a life of boating memories? The kids will love it and always remember you for it.

Race gas is running $11-$12 a gallon and rising, I think best bet would be to drain boat tank down to about a quarter tank and fill up with super. Use the old gas in a modern car that calls for 87 octane.

the motors are onlt 8.75/1 compression to begin with.....I this there is about 75 gallons in the boat I might just pump it out and run it in my truck. Hey Chris long time no hear from ya!!You got some MIS go fast gas layin around you dont need???:D

How many people have proper storage for 20gals let alone 100+? What do you do with all that fuel if you remove it from the boat?
Drain some and run it in a lawnmower or something. If it runs, then fill the boat up with fresh gas and take it easy for a little while. If it won't run in the lawnmower, either dump it or add Toluene at 1:25 or less. You just want it to mix and clean up a bit.

I drain mine every year. I can store 30 gal at a time in cans. I fill my cars with it. Takes no time at all to get rid of a 100 gals.
