FUEL TANK DRAINED AND FUEL HOSES BLOWN OUT,WHAT NEXT?

[JOHNFLAGG]

Hi all, I had a problem with water in my fuel tank,and some in fuel hoses,About 2 gallons worth,Long story how it got there which i won't go over here, I seen some water sitting in fuel filter also,i disconnected everything,blew everything out,Installed new filter,pumped and drained the gas tank ,At this very moment im blowing air into the tank to dry the rest of any water/fuel moisture out,I'm getting ready to refuel the boat and start her up tommorow or so,Is there anything special i need to do,like prime all the lines or filters with fuel first..New seadoo owner so i don't know the fuel system on these yet....Old Motorcycles are easy,those are gravity feed,this i have no clue..any help would be great thanks guys..Sorry this is for a 1996 seadoo challenger with a 787 rotax

Nope... nothing special to do. I would put a heavy shot of Marine Stay-bil in the tank when you add fuel. That will help pass anything that was still in the tank.

As far as a prime... it's not needed. If the carbs and fuel system are in working order... the engine will pull fuel in just a few seconds.

Thank you my friend...What do you consider a heavy shot?

Double dose of the "Normal" amount listed on the label, for the amount of fuel you put in the tank. The (blue) marine version actually gives both doses on the label. (heavy and standard)
