I stabilized the my gas tank at the beginning of November. I was getting ready to use the boat and decided to install a fuel water separator to solve the water absorption issues. When I called to the deal to see if they had the one I needed he said mercury issued a bulletin not to let ethanol gas sit more than 90 days stabilized or not , because of the water issue and the separation issues. He said pump it out and leave tanks empty at the end of the season. So I pumped it out and put the gas in my truck. I would rather run it in my truck, than to mess with ruining my 4 stroke. The truck is under warranty the boat motor is not.

Pump it out it only take a couple minutes. Just set the tank you are pulling it into lower than your tank and it siphons itself.

My two cents
