In following to the recommedations to remove the bad fuel in my tank, I've done a bit of reading/research ..........
I believe I am going to purchase a cheapo electric fuel pump from the local auto parts store and wire to a seperate 12-v battery with an inline switch (no sparks). Haven't quite figured out how I am going to contain the fuel though ...... I kind find big enough containers but moving it may be a problem.
My real question is gasket/seal related. If I go through the fuel pickup (accessible by the hatch on my deck), I understand that I have to remove 4-5 bolts. When I go to reinstall these bolts/pickup, is there a gasket that needs to be replaced? Is there one there that can be reused? Can I use a liqud type gasket material if one is needed?
I just need to make sure I have everything I need BEFORE starting to remove parts/peices.
(Would it be simpler to remove the fuel line at the engine and simply pump from there? Simple disconnect/reconnect rather than going through the pickup? Advantages/disadvantages? Possible?)
