    Four month old fuel?

    Hey guys just trying to get my boat out this week and of course all the dealers are booked up.. I have a 06 250 HPDI .. I keep my boat in my garage year round.. fuel tanks are about half full from last October I did not use any kind of stabilizer .. Can I add something to the fuel or do I need to worry about moister/water ect? Thanks

    4 months isn't that bad. Does it smell like varnish?

    I would top it off with 93 and maybe dump a can of seafoam in it, and not worry about it. But I am sure others would have a different opinion.

    The safest thing for you to do would be to siphon as much out as you can and burn it in your truck. drain the vapor seperator and filter bowl, and pump fresh gas through the fuel line.

    Not sure, but I think Startron is advertising that their fuel additive can restore your fuel.
    +1 on the Seafoam

    Had a situation where there was about 40 gal of 2 yr old fuel last spring. I put 2 bottles of the Startron, seafoam and just topped it off...4 gal of 93 like what was stated above. It did have a little hesitation at first, probably from the fuel in the line, but it took off from there. I filled up each time coming off the water for about 50 gallons and added the appropriate amount of seafoam each time and had no problems. I also kept mine in the garage/shop. So you shouldn't have many problems. just keep up on checking your fuel filter and plugs for any possible indicators of trouble.
