I'm in the process of winterizing my 89 evi 120 for the first time. I put the fuel stabilizer in the tank while it was half full and then added another half tank of fresh gas. In the process of running the motor to get the stabilized fuel into the engine, the water separator bulb keeps filling up. I keep emptying it and starting again, and it keeps filling up. I have done this about 3-4 times and have about 1/4 of a 5lb coffee can full of water/fuel. Should I continue to do this until it stops or am I fighting a losing battle? The boat has a 25 gallon tank that is now full after adding the stabilizer and 16 gallons of new fuel. Once the bulb gets full, is that contaminated fuel just being fed to the engine? How will that damage it? Or do I need to do the worse and have a shop drain the tank? Thanks! Rick
