I did a similar fuel exchange. I let the tank run down during the season.
Then I pumped out about ten gallons into jerry cans and gave them to my
neighbor who has oil heat. My boat has an electric booster pump so it was
pretty easy to pull the return hose from the tank fitting and stick it
About a year ago I was looking for experience here on a Marco UP3 freshwater
pump, and there was no response.
To report on the Marco, I loved the pump, I just didn’t like that it quit
pulling water by September. A little over 3 months. They did eventually take
it back, after several

polished) fuel will prevent gunk from gumming up your

valves so the secondary filter could become primary in case it still clogs
at a bad time.
