    I got a 39 gallon fuel tank in the boat. I got some fiddling to do, But I'm sure I can rig a quick disconnect to allow siphoning to fill the gas cans using the primer bulb. Always keep treatment in that fuel as a problem will lead to serious cash for repairs. JIC I will keep my 2 fuel cans full too.

    So even though it will just be sitting in the drive way under cover. The boat will have some use to us!

    39 gallons would last a while. :). I use the gas tank in my 69 AMC as a winter fuel barge. I put about 10 gallons and some sta-bil in around the end of October. Helps keep condensation at bay over the winter and gives me a bit of an emergency stash. I either siphon it out for the mower in the spring or go for a ride. No problems siphoning from the tank in that car. I tried to siphon from my Alero during an extended summer power outage in 2009 and that was an exercise in futility.

    Somewhere in the upper US it has already snowed and it wasn't a dusting IIRC.

    I read a report the day after that link was posted that the article is a hoax. The website that it came from is similar to the Onion, and the articles aren't real. They had another one with headlines "Child steps on crack, breaks mother's back!"

    Getting there, at least the pellets are dropping into the burn pot and not going the other way. Yes, that stupid Bear has finally gotten around to doing his test burn. I like'm those Gleason Avery auger motors, nice and silent be they.
