Engine ran last fall before it was winterized. Fuel stabilizer was added. Fuel is almost 2 years old I think now (this is a sailboat so the engine is hardly used). Tried to start it this spring for the season and it won't fire. Cranking but no fire. I was thinking I could get a fuel line and put one end in a fresh can of gas and run the other end of it to the fuel pump. I went and bought 5 feet of fuel line from Autozone but told them marine application. After a lot of thought I was worried about what could happen if there were some sort of spark that could ignite the gas that I have in AN UNSEALED AUTOMOTIVE GAS CAN WITH A FUEL LINE STICKING DOWN INTO IT. What are my chances of killing if not seriously injuring myself and or the boat and surrounding boats? Other suggestions without emptying the entire fuel tank?
