[Simple_Man]

Stupid Me!!!!!! It was a Fuel Problem. WATER I pumped 5 gallons of water out of my tank. still have 15 gallons in the tank. I had nothing but water in the carb bowls. Using a portable tank for now. Thanks again Everyone for all of the help, and especially for your patience.

How in the heck did you get so much water in the fuel tank?

 

[Simple_Man]

I have no idea. I have to find something to pump the rest of the tank into. Hoprfully the tank is ok, I really don't have the room for portable tanks.

Be VERY careful when draining the tank.
Use only approved pumps.
I keep a 12v fuel pump just for situations like this.
​Any other kind of pump can cause explosions.

​Tilt the boat up as far as it can go.
​Drain/siphon all the fuel you can.
Then remove the fuel sender(if possible) and get the rest of the water out.

The dry gas you get can help.
But the best is boat stove alcohol.
​It absorbs more water than the little yellow bottle.

Don't add too much.

Remember to add extra oil to offset the alcohol.

Thanks Jerry I'm going to bring the boat home, Put the fuel line out the drain plug hole and use a primer ball to start a siphon.

It will be about 2 weeks till I can get it home. I will let every one know if I find the source.
