You guys really don't think that the gas would be OK if topped off with premium and some drygas?

Engine is "625 SCI" from his boat profile. Somewhat depends on how it is tuned.

A normal motor, I would say, "no problem" top off and don't look back. With that much money in a motor, I would probably not take the chance. Pump it dry via the fuel pump (assuming it is electric). Connect after the filter to catch any debris and dump into a vehicle tank, preferably with 50% fresh 91.

A 25 OL prob has 80-90 gal tank so we are talking less than 25 gal if 1/4 full.

It's a crapshoot really. If the gas contains ethanol and it's been sitting for that long a time, hard to tell how much water it may have accumulated. I use MDR E-Zorb (recommended to me by a very qualified engine guy) to emulsify the water when I suspect there may be some. If he can get it out of there, I think he's better off starting with fresh gas..

I'm just going to dump it ( peace of mind ! ) I'll change the motor oil and the drive oil, throw some 93octane as I always do and hopefully see the water again if the levels ever come up ! Just wanted to make sure I should be doing anything else.

Thans for all the advice !!

For future if you can get non-ethanol. That's all I use and I still add stabilizer as well at the end of the season.

It's not easy to find around here but something I will look into for sure !!
