Step 3:
Disconnect the fuel line and move the tank to the shore.
Step 4:
Check the fuel system including the tank, fuel line, and connectors for any leaks.
Step 5:
For mixed gasoline, alternate the addition of gas and oil as the tank is filled- Always ensure that gas and oil are thoroughly mixed before reconnecting the fuel system to the motor.
