Default Re: Fuel tank size on 1986 23 outboard

John,

I used the gravity method. I parked the boat on our loading dock, extended the hose and let the gas flow though a filter into my truck (20 gallons), then the car (10 gallons), then the forklift (5 gallons), then the other forklift (5 more), then finally 2-5 gallon cans.

Several weeks later, we stuffed a gas soaked rag into the fill tube and lit it. Man, I wish I had a video of that event. It gives you an idea what it could do if still installed in the boat, less the shards of fiberglass and battery acid... (Sick, huh?)
