How to drain my old gas?
 
I have a 1995 202 v6 and need to drain all the gas out of the tank. I am a shade tree wrench. Any ideas on draining the tank. Is their a drain plug? If so where? I tried to siphon it out with a hose. No luck. Thanks Dave

I doubt there is a drain plug. I had to do the same on an old boat, not a Mariah. The best method I found was removing the fuel sender and dropping in an electric fuel pump with a long hose that I placed into multiple 6 gal cans. As always, be careful working around fuel. I placed the battery for the fuel pump outside the boat, wrapped a wet towel around the fuel sender opening and had a fire extinguisher at the ready. Good luck.

Where is my gas tank located at?

Found the tank sender and removed it to suck the gas out. Drained the fuel filter. Put new gas in with a new battery. Started right up after sitting 4 years. Did a shake down run. Could smell electric smoke smell around the passenger feet area. Just below the glove box. Stopped after 30 minuets. Ideas?
