Is the offseason for your boat looming around the corner? Are you concerned about any residue buildup in your fuel tank?

[LZ]

There are a lot of reasons you should religiously drain your fuel tank from time to time. To cut costs, you can do it yourself effectively. You only need to know how to drain gas from boat fuel tank in a stepwise manner. more

Now that you have the tank out, pressure check your fill and vent lines. The aluminum tube lines that run down the gunwhale and under the deck are notorius for failing. The aluminum in these lines corrodes through. Repair or replacement of the under deck lines is much easier when you can access them by working from the coffin. The gunwhale lines remain tough, but still easier because you can cut the 90 degree bends from the coffin with an extended blade of some sort.

IF my new boat ever gets delivered we will catch up for some fishing.

Great plan (and yes, I'm VERY careful moving fuel around and no, I don't suck it out with a piece of hose on my mouth!) but it appears the Quinnie (2001 model) has an anti-syphen block or at least something else stopping the hose from reaching the fuel.

Pick a convenient point to break into the fuel line on the motor side of the squeze bulb and pass the fuel line out one of the transom drain bung holes , Tilt the nose of the boat up and squeeze the bulb to start the fuel running ( hate the taste of fuel ) and siphon away . Only siphons as fast as the diameter of the fuel line so have a coldie in the fridge.

no haven't come across it before
but couldn't you shiphen from the outgoing fule line?
or from where it joins the engine itslef?

For replacing tanks foamed under the deck, between stringers, or tanks just sitting on a bare plywood deck, you need to build in a new deck. This can be done by thoroughly glassing over good quality plywood, being sure to thoroughly seal the edges of the plywood so it doesn't suck up water. Use mat if you like, but be sure that its completely wetted out, and use two layers for the top surface. Its best to glass the edges in a second operation, after the two surfaces have been done. Wait until the resin kicks off before doing the final roll out.

Here's the answer that many of you asked for on how to install an aluminum fuel tank so that it doesn't corrode and leak again. Fuel tanks don't corrode because they get wet; they corrode because at some point something is in contact with the tank that traps water between it and the tank. Like the original foam that it was installed with. Aluminum is self-protecting, so long as the surface gets adequate air exposure. Severe corrosion is always caused by water plus a lack of oxygen. Metalurgically, this is known as "crevice corrosion," and the key is to eliminate all the points (crevices) that trap water. As long as the aluminum has a good air flow around all surfaces, contact with water will not damage it.

Note: You may need to add frames under the deck so that it doesn't sag, depending on the amount of the span between stringers. If the tank is more than two feet wide, we'd recommend this. Install the frames before glassing. Also, if it looks like the deck is going to collect water in the center, its a good idea to drill a few 1/2" drain holes, coating them with resin or epoxy so they don't rot.

Don’t be afraid after hearing about using, mouth. You just have to blow air and nothing else. more

Open the car’s front engine side and get access to your fuel filter.

After opening the screw, your fuel will fall like leaking. So, make sure you already place a big bowl type container under the vehicle before opening. Otherwise, it may create a mess and danger to any severe havoc. [links]

Go inside your vehicle and open the relay electric switch part. You will find it located under your gauge dash area.
