June 29, 2008 – Fuel won’t siphon
Draining the fuel was more difficult than expected. A siphon would not work so I removed the fuel filter and turned the key repeated on and off to pump the fuel out. We removed seven gallons and gave four to neighbor because I didn’t have containers. Well prepared to continue, obviously. Total cost to date, $16.
Update – I used the gas in the lawnmower and now it’s dead too. I figured it was a Honda and could handle it. Besides, what do you do with a couple of gallons of bad gas? Neighbor’s mower still works fine.
