No one has any suggestions
when i bought my boat i dumped out the old gas poured new in sloshed it around dumped repeated 4 or 5 times worked good for me.
When I took my 83 Skeeter in to have the rebuilt motor installed, the shop insisted that I pitch the old Galvy fuel tanks and replace with new plastic. Way way way too many problems caused with crud from old tanks. Literally impossible to get it all out. The result of any dirt in the tank is a stalled motor. This could be critical or a safety issue. And this is with a 4-stroke carburated engine. They said some put marbles in the tank and rattle them around. Haven't tried it. New tanks are around $65 each for 9-gallons. Your call.
Iwould pour the old gas out put a small mount back i n with seafoam to loose any gas scales lose a couple times then air dry
I recently bought a boat with old gas as well and I'm trying to decide what to do with it.
Where do you guys dump your old gas? I've read that some folks dump it into their cars/trucks, but I hesitate on that one...

I would not pour it in my car you is asking for problems call a recycler central they will prbolely have a number that you can take it to if it just a litter i use it to burn tash limbs ect in the yard you have to be very safet it s weak for a motor but not for hands and face
i pulled my tank and sprayed carburator and choke cleaner in it sloshed it around for a while and then pressure washed it out
i just went through this with my 81 skeeter it sat for 12 years before i got it. i tried gas. i tried to pressure wash it i ended up taking it to a radiator repair shop hear in town for 40 bucks they had it looking brand new...
they said they use some heavy duty floor degreaser
