suspect water in gas tank

Postby fausti » Mon Oct 09, 2017 2:42 pm

Hi,

I suspect some water got into my gas tank, had a major problem to restart after gassing up recently.

Does anyone know if there is drain tap/valve for the internal tank on a 160ccf 1996.?

thanks

Hi gooday,

I was gassing up at a regular marine gas station. Problem occurred just after that. Ended up getting a tow home. Engine fired up fine later on when back on trailer.
