Gas lifetime and extraction from boat tank (1 Viewer)

[Riley]

Hi guys -

The gas in my boat is approaching 2 years old. It's high quality (no ethanol) and high octane. Looks like I won't be able to use my boat this summer so thinking about removing it (somehow) and then putting new fresh gas in.

Questions:

- I am having a tough time finding a way to extract it. Nobody seems to have a gas pump that is decent quality to work and I need to pump up to extract it. Any ideas on where to find a decent device to extract gasoline from a boat tank? I need about a 3' lift.

- any thoughts on how bad the gas would be in 2.5 years? it's got fuel stabilizer and the motor isn't probably too fussy. It's a Yamaha 125HP outboard....

I use on of these to extract the fuel. Fluid-Evacuators-and-Dispensers
I don't like leaving fuel for more than 6 months, 12 if good non-ethanol fuel.

Thanks.
Exactly what I was looking for.
