My boat's in the laneway on a trailer. If it was me, and I was really
concerned, I could siphon off most of the gas into my jeep a few gallons at
a time and burn it off that way, and then top up the boat with fresh gas and
stabilizer (also helps clean the carb I understand) in the spring. If I
wasn't concerned (which I wouldn't be), I'd add the stabilizer now, and
shake the boat around a bit on the trailer before starting it up (with muffs
in the laneway) this spring. Ok ,,, there's old fuel in the fuel line but
since I'm carburated (4 bbl) I am not that concerned ... if I idled for
awhile, the non-stabilized fuel would only be running through the idle jets.

If I forgot to add fuel stablizer in my fuel tank, can i go back and add

it
to the tank after the gas is already in the tank?
Is there a right or wrong way to add stablizer after the fact? Can I add

the
stabilzer to a little gass and put it in the tank? Will it mix up

properly?
How long will it take for the fuel to go bad and turn to varnish in the
carb? I usually add stabilizer to all my fuel, I guess i had a brain gap
that day.
Thanks for the help with this matter....tcoop
