Out of an abundance of caution, given that the boat I am buying has been started, but not substantially run (other than for our survey) for about 5 years, I would like to be extra-cautious about potential fuel tank contamination. I think that the tank is about half-full. At the suggestion of one of our contributors here, I will patch in a 12v. pump and recirculate the fuel through my Racor filter for a number of hours in an attempt to polish the fuel. That said, do you think I am better off trying to burn off the old fuel as much as possible before putting in new (if of course the engine appears to be running well), or dillute the old stuff with new? Finally, does anyone here have experience with Starbrite Star Tron Fuel Tank Cleaner? While its NOT cheap, I'd rather start off with as clean a fuel system as possible. The reviews seem to be good (and Practical Sailor rated their biocide highly), but I don't believe everything I read on the 'net... :)
