Her is my approach
change engine oil now
Pump out gas tanks
flush them with clean gas, if possible
use Rec gas to fill
add Ring Free
replace Racor water and gas filter cartridge
keep extras on hand
Change them when you see debris and water in bowl
I would been changing them often on time
replace fuel filter under cowling
drain bad gas from VST into rags
Get it running close to shore.
If running well, run it fast as possible to burn gas
change oil again |

It would be better if the referenced article wasn't 10 years old. Perhaps there are newer products available (although I do use sta-bil). |

After 12 years using Blue Marine Stabil and Startron as mentioned earlier with no (ZERO) problems, I think I will keep not fixing what ain't broke.

I find scare tech articles to the gazillion testimonials. |
