clean out of long un-used aux. fuel tank and other fuel tank
I think I saw this subject once before, and possibly a great solution, but can't find it.
I have a 1995 355 Aft Cabin with gas engines. I have owned the boat for a year. The previous owner never used the aux. tank and in fear, I have not either. Is there a fairly simple way to clean out any debris that might be there so that I can use the tank?
Also, can anyone tell me exactly how the aux tank works? as in, will the fuel be used automatically from the aux tank before the fuel in the main tanks is used?
Also, can someone explain how the syncronizer works? there is a guage and a switch.

Re: clean out of long un-used aux. fuel tank and other fuel
You might think this is too much work, but trust me - the other way to find out they leak is to turn the valve in the engine room, fill them and loose all your fuel in the aft tank, and virtually never get the smell if gas out of your back stateroom again.
