Should I siphon my gas that has been in my boat for a year? [SOLVED]

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the question!

Best practice would be to drain the fuel.

After one year though, it should still start and run fine. If you don’t drain it, I’d wait until you have 2-4 gallons, add an entire can of Marine PRO, and run it for at least 20 minutes (just don’t run out of fuel). The high concentration will do a good job cleaning up any gum and varnish that formed while the fuel sat. After that, add 1 ounce of Marine PRO per gallon to every tank of fuel. That will prevent gum and varnish from forming going forward.
