Hydraulic steering is great.

Just a suggestion set it up and start using it first, you may find other expensive things you want first but one day hydraulic steering will make it to the top of the list.

Hello guys,
Not too much done after that. Added a second seat, a large bait board, rod holders etc.
I've been using the boat a lot till 3 month ago.
Yes its been 3 month ago last time i used it and i have around 30 lt of fuel in the tanks. The question is how do I dispose this old fuel. Or is there a way to use it?
Thanks

How big is the tank the fuel is in ????????????????
boris
I've got 2 x 25 lt (I think)
One of the has around 10 lt in it and the other one 20 lt

To bad tanks aren't bigger else I would've said just leave old fuel in there & top it up with fresh fuel to top up the octane level.

Fuel is still good even after 6 months but loses it's octane level so it dosn't fire as well in the pistons.

Just pour old fuel into the car done that many a time

A bit of oil wont hurt, may smoke up a bit thats all

Dont pour it all in @ wunce if worried do it in tu fills that way it will dilute alot better

Many moons ago ran out of fuel in the old landcruiser coming back from a trip out bush, drained the fuel out of the bikes on the traler [2stroke] & filled the car got us to the next town

I have personally used 5 month old petrol before w/o any problems, but I had topped up the tank and stored it in my garage.

Having said this. I do not go out wide but stay close to shore in nicely protected waters where the problems with engine trouble (due to bad fuel) would be fairly limited.

to get rid of the old fuel, maybe use it for lawn mower/whipper snipper and whatever other small petrol engine tools you have

At 3 Months I'd use it, send it to me, send it to me!

Balance off the tanks so they are roughly equal then top them up with fresh premix & go fishing Boris.

Jack your motor dosn't know if ewe're out wide or in close it still runs the same hysterical.gif

Nothing wrong with 3 month old fuel & if it were to give ewe probs, those probs would arise when ewe 1st started the donk up not when ewe're allready used 1/2 the tank reason being any crap in the fuel sits on bottom of tank & that's the 1st lot of fuel that goes to the motor.

There are Co's that collect old oil/fuel & it gets recycles
Not going to come to your place for 20 litres hysterical.gif

Most garages/motor mechs keep big drums they pour petroleum products into I'd ask them if ewe can pour into the drums

Pretty sure there's wun in Redfern hysterical.gif hysterical.gif
