I filled my tank in August. I had it out a few time and then once in September. My plan was to use most of the fuel by the end of fall but I injured my back in September and it is just starting to get better. I now have a boat in my garage with pretty much a full tank. Should I just add stabilizer? I can’t get on the wAter to run the older fuel out of the lines. Is that a problem? Recommendations are appreciated.

Add stabilizer and run the boat. You need to work the treated fuel into the lines.

Fuel/water filter and stabilizer are your friend. |

When that happens, the fuel goes into phase separation leaving a nasty blend of ethanol and water in the bottom of the tank. This mixture is very corrosive and will mess things up quickly. |

Don't be lazy about it.
Dump the gas into your car's tank. FOG THE BOAT MOTOR. |
