Hand pump only at this point. Going to be a big job, but it's only 100l ish *rolls eyes* Thanks again.

Thanks guys. Visited today and treated with stabil. Says separates out the water and I've got water separating fuel filters on both old and new engine. figure its good if I need to turn the engine over until I can drain. Did some recon on the sender unit and it looks like i can just screw it...

Yep, in there with a mirror and we've got a 'Quicksilver water separating fuel filter'

Hmmmm. Old one in the shed actually says "water separating" Any idea how much water they can deal w/?

Cheers, Ian. another thought, would my standard fuel filters be water separating?

Been gone a while, horrid weather here, well, on the weekends anyway :smt021. Went to the boat recently and found the gas cap off. Had been raining since I was last there. Now it was potentially me that left the tank open :smt089 so we'll just assume it had been a while and there may had been...

Special Thanks for taking the time to share. What kind of GPH/GPnM you making knocking down 10kts?
