Hey Guys,
I have a 1977 33 ft CC coho with 2 100 gallon fuel tanks. There is approx 25 gallons in each tank. However the gas has been in there for approx 2 years with no Stabil treatment according to previous owner. I wanted to pump it out and start fresh but I have no idea where to get rid of 50 gallons of old gasoline in (brooklyn NY) boat yard wont help me. If I just added 75 gallons of fresh gas to each tank would that cause problems or would it mix with the old gas and burn ok? What is the time limit before gas becomes unuseable or dangerous to the system. Can you mix old gas with new? I have completely repowered both engines with new Chevy 350's inboards, new carbs, distributors, manifolds etc. but havnt started the engines yet. Any help would be appreciated. I cant start my season until this problem is addressed.
Thanks,
