This will be my first time winterizing my boat and am looking for some feedback.
To fog my engine (4.3L EFI), the manual states to "shut off the fuel" to the engine and add 2 oz oil to the water seperator. Run the engine till it stops.
I have found a valve between the fuel tank and the water seperator. The name on it is Parker Skinner Valve Div. There is a knob on the valve that says On/Off. I thought that if I turn the valve to the off position this would stop the flow of fuel to the engine. I called the company and found out that the valve does not work that way. This is just a way to allow the valve to work should you loose your 12 VDC to the valve.
It looks to me that the only way to disable this valve and stop the fuel from flowing is to remove the 12 VDC going to the valve.
Has anyone stopped the flow of fuel this way? Have another method?
Thanks,
Glenn
