Hello,
When I winterized my boat I accidentally left the gas tank cap open for a couple of weeks while the boat was still outside. During that time we had some snow and rain, and water probably got in. I have no idea how much water could have gotten it, but I’m sure that some did.
Can anyone recommend what do to now? It’s a full tank, so I don’t really want to waste it, and if the only option is to drain the tanks I’m not sure what to do with the contaminated gas.
If I have to drain it, how do I do it? The tank is mounted under the deck, but obviously there are a couple of hatches that allow access... I never opened them yet.
Thanks!
