getting ready - old fuel

[tim hopkins]

starting to get ready for our launch of the year . got the itch . when we put the boat up for the winter gas was left in the portable tank still hooked up to the line . outboard not on the boat . can i just drain the line , dump the old mixed fuel , and refill ? or is there more steps to this ? do i have to clean the line and tank before i refill ? i will be putting a different (bigger) plastic tank , but i have a metal 6 gallon portable tank for now .

life begins where land ends

just use the old gas in the lawn mower and start the boat with new, the little bit of oil in the mix will smoke a little in the lawn mower but it sure help keep the bug down in the neighborhood.
