Talk to PJ at Monmoth Marine on 36.i had mine done there 3 weeks ago. The guy is from Forked River. He pumped out and filtered 175 gallons from my tank and pressure washed the tank clean. Solved all my problems. The guy is mobi, everything is on his truck

Fly - If you don't mind me asking, how do they charge, by the gallon??

[Flygaff]

It cost around $450.00. Well worth it. And I even got the gas back, clean and filtered

[Bass_Appeal]

what kind of contaminents did they get out of it , water ,dirt ??

[Flygaff]

There was some water in the fuel. also some dirt, but most of the stuff came out when the tank was pressure washed. Paper, bottle caps from fuel additive, and about a bucket full of goo from the walls of the aluminum tank. The tank is a 1996. I am not the original owner, I bought the problems. I have had problems for a year trying to get everything running right. All fixed

Name: John (did not get last name)
Tel #: 609 693 4535

He is a mobile only operation, meaning he only performs the service on your site. This could be at your house if the boat is on a trailer, or a place where YOU secure permission from the land owner to allow the operation to occur.

I did not have this done yet, so I can't give you any qualitative reference other than he was a nice enough guy to speak with on the phone.

Note: don't be surprised when you call if he does not answer. Leave a message, he will get back to you next day - at least thats what happend with me.

Good luck
John

Uodate:

I just had both tanks on the boat cleaned out by John. Can't say enough good things about him - good communication, showed up on time, clean setup and care about not making any mess, well organized.

The entire process from setup, cleaning both tanks, cleaning out the fuel lines from tank, putting back the gas (twice filtered), putting the equipement away took about 3 hours.

He swapped out the filters on the machine a few times to make sure everything stayed clean. There was some water in the fuel and also some dirt and small particles. The tanks are now spanking clean - glad I did, peice of mind.
