Ptownnate Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 I’m going to look at a 2010 B52 TWB Saturday. It’s been sitting for about 1.5 years. It had a service done in 06/2019 (oil, impeller, tranny fluid, changed PCM fuel filter, in-line fuel filter) but they never got around to taking it out last summer. I don’t know how much gas is in it. I want to start it In the driveway before I do a lake test. Any ideas on how to get the gas out? My only thought is to siphon it through the fuel fill cap. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptownnate Posted May 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 And they didn’t use stabilizer. I’ve also never sat in an MB, I don’t necessarily know my way around them, but I’m going to pretend I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 The gas is probably fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryon Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 yeah just top if off with fresh gas and on your ride back on the trailer it should mix together with the old stuff enough to run fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptownnate Posted May 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Thanks for the replies. One other thing, the daughter of her aged parents (boat owners) is selling the boat for them. She said she doesn’t know how to tell how many hours are on the boat. If it’s not clearly stated somewhere, I’ve read the menu button + up arrow on PP should do the trick. Does that sound right?

steve142 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 There should be an hour meter on the boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryon Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 yeah PP will store the hours, or a shop can pull them with a diagnostic tool. for PP it's menu+up, scroll to System Info and hours will be listed on the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thchavez05 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I bought a 2000 Boss 210 last year that had fuel that was so bad, it smelled like paint thinner. I bought a $10 electric pump and some fuel line. Connected it to the fuel line that comes into the low pressure fuel pump. Basically the line that comes from the fuel tank. Emptied it into fuel cans. Then took it to the recycle center at the dump, for free! It all worked great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
