    I wouldn't recommend dumping it into the bilge. Your boat will small like gas until next year!

    Use a gasoline-rated hand or drill pump, or even a siphon hose. Make sure you have a secondary catch basin below the collection can. Do NOT use any electricity near the tank.

    Rotary fuel pump:
