I have a 1975 Mako 17 Angler with a 2015 E-tec on the back. It sat up all 2020 with a full tank of gas (24 gallons). Took it out last weekend and burned about a 1/2 of a tank and started having problems with the motor maintaining a steady RPM. Check the fuel water separator and there was some water in there.
The questions are: Do I fill the tank back up (non-ethanol gas) and let the separator do its job? Find some additive to add to the 12 gallons of gas and let the separator do its job? Or drain the 12 gallons that I have in the tank. I DO NOT care about wasting the 12 gallons, but it is a PIA to get the gas out and then what do you do with it after you have collected it?
