Cookslav Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I have 9.9hp evinrude I have not used in about 4 years...nothing wrong with it, I simply have not had a boat that required this size of engine since then. Anyway, I wanna get her started, and tuned up for a freind to borrow. My issue is The tank is 100% full. I'm about 100% sure the Gas is pooched... Unless your able to re-stabilize gas???? Anyway being I've stored it indoors its been recommended that I just dispose of the gas, re-fill the tank and give her a few yanks before I start mucking with the carb, filters, and plugs as they are more then likely in good shape...and now I just realized, I have absolutly no idea how to go about that, or were to take the gas to be disposed of I have never had to worry about such a waste before I figured if anyone would know...someone here would!

mikemcmillan Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hey Cookslav, the dump out on Erb Street will take it, no charge either. I think the only thing is it has to be in a proper gas can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 If it smells like varnish then it now is, and gas does start to degrade the minute it leaves the refinery. There is a gas catalyst system that will treat gas and reformulate it but it's not worth the price for only one tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musky66 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 If its not too much gas- you can probably add it to your vehicle- should be diluted enough for the engine to make good use of it. Or add it in small quantities to your lawnmower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Alrighty then! Thanks guys...I'll try the local shops first. To bad though its about 30L of fuel mixed and ready... I filled it up 4 years ago because I was "supposed" to be headed on a trip to a freinds Hunt camp, and something went sour (long story...) Guess The Gas companies got away with a few more of my dollars... Hard to beleive that I probobly filled that tank for about $23-25 and now its about $37-$39 :wallbash:LOL! Oh well..

SlowPoke Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Most shops have a varsol tank for washing parts. If I need to dump fuel I'll take it to a truck shop and ask if they want some old gas for the parts washer. If it doesn't occur to them that they can use it instead of being reponsible for disposing it, they tend to decline. That's why I phrase the question "....for the parts washer". -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
