Hey I think its bad gas to just got carbs rebuilt when out it would take off at times and others it wouldnt so now Im wanting to drain all the fuel out the tank it has less than a half a tank in there maybe a 1/4 of a tank. How is the best way of draining the tank is there a hose or some way to drain it one guy said pull the plug drain it all in the motor compartment and just pull the plug at the back of boat to drain it out but I dont want to do that for it to run all out in the grass at my apt Need to know how about how to go about this Then Im gonna fill it back up and put in fuel and water seperator Seadoo said I can get that at the parts store they suggest this done with old gas that had been sitting in the tank

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.
