So I have been doing some work on the boat recently and the last project was swapping out the fuel pump. The last time I didn't fill up the filter with gas and it was a serious pain to get started. I thought I learned my lesson, filled up the filter, and was ready to go.
Well...I go to fire up the boat and it won't start! Fires up for a second and then dies over and over. I try priming about 20 times with the key on and still doesn't work. I spent another hour or so trying to get her going and then decided to check the anti-siphon valve I had recently changed. When I removed that and could see in the fuel tank I saw there was no gas! Somebody had siphoned all the gas out of my tank!!! I had to just laugh at the timing of it but who does something like that. Anyway, thought I would share as it still makes me laugh to think about. All this troubleshooting to discover that it was just stolen gas...
Anyone use a locking gas cover?
