I added the entire bottle of Quickare to the 21 gallon fuel tank (new boat, and didn't read the instructions).
Will this damage the engine? Should I drain the fuel out and start over?
Anybody???

I don't think it will be a problem BUT I'm sure Don will be along and let you know. He knows WAY more than any of us.

That's a heavy-overdose.
I would be inclined to pump the fuel out and start with fresh.

Thanks for the replies. Local service says it shouldn't hurt, but top the tank off after each use to thin it out. I ran yesterday about 10 miles, no issues.
Might be wise to inspect (or better yet, replace) the fuel filter after 3 tanks are topped-off and consumed. Excessive amounts of Quickare "could" cause filter staining.
