gas pump-out
 

i have about 35 gallons of garbage gas to pump out of my boat, what would be the best type of pump to use/ buy to do it with the least amount of effort???

I just pumped some race fuel out with a bulb type pump I bought at harbor freight for 7 dollars. Worked great but was slow. Once I got it moving out it siphoned by itself.

I bought a cheap external electric fuel pump from pep boys, bought some hose, removed the filler hose at the tank inserted the hose Wired in a on/off switch ran some leads to the battery and pumped it into a 55 gallon drum. whole thing cost $40 bucks and about an hour time.

About did the same thing but used a cheap drill pump (about 8 bucks) from home depot.
When done call your local dump and see when they have a hazardous waste drop off day and they will take it off your hands.

i had a pump truck stop by the mairina where my boat was at and vacume out 30 gallons, and dispose of it. the tank wa bone dry and not sludge or dirt. all for 50 bucks

Do you have the name of the co. that does this service?

Exactly what I have did. It works great; and you are using all the right equipment for moving extremely flamable liquids.

Capitol marine in Ft. Lauderdale. I doubt they are up there but im sure there is a company that does that

Do you have electric fuel pumps? Just connect a hose from the outlet side to a tank and turn on the key...

Whats wrong with a 5' section of garden hose? a couple of huffs and your good to go...

Idk if they are nation wide? I used CYN ENVIRONMENTAL a couple years ago. Fast, clean, ez. If I remember correctly like $1.25 a gallon? ???? Any company that disposes of a local oil change garage or dealership will come to you if your not too far off their route

Not to change the subject but I see a lot of people sucking gas out of tanks recently, I have friends that Add Startron to all the gas that goes in their boat and every other year they have issues, I took the in line (carb) filter out and it had this sandy looking stuff in there and when it dries and you rub it between your fingers it disapeers. I did this 3 times AFTER I changed the spin on water/fuel filter and it had this stuff in it in a matter of 10 minutes. What is this issue????
