I have access to a clean, structural foam 100 gallon "stock tank" that measures 31"W x 53"L x 25"D. This would completely submerse the circulation ports on my 2008 Mercury 30 HP 4-stroke EFI outboard.
We are on water restrictions out here and can ony use a water hose on a designated day of the week between the hours of 6pm and midnite, so I risk being reported for nuisance water and fined by the city compliance gestapo, if I use my flushing ears.
I was curious if I filled this tank and ran my outboard in it at idle, will it suffice in order to flush it and also (after I change the fluids, filters, & plugs) to run a gallon of fuel with QuickClean thru it. I can then pull the plug on the tank and let the water into the backyard on my designated watering day after 6pm in the spirit of saving my trees and complying with the city rules.....
I'm just concerned if that will be enough water to maintain circulation and not harm my Merc.
