Re: M_Boats: re: Remote gas tank for Honda 2hp
Hi gang, Another idea I stole from somewhere, to refuel the HONDA 2 HP while underway: Instead of trying to pour from a spare 1 gallon fuel tank, while hanging over the stern in a seaway, the source for my "light bulb" event said, reuse quart oil containers as small spare fuel containers. If you fill them with gasoline, they are easy to stow; don't leak; and are very easy to open and pour into the HONDA fuel tank. Aiming and juggling flow is unnecessary. Just stick oil container bottle neck into the HONDA tank opening, and let the oil bottle drain. You now know you have added one quart. There is no chance of spillage. I found it to be a great solution to the refueling problem. Connie ex M15 #400 LEPPO
Connie, That may work great, but if the engine is hot and you spill any and it hits a hot engine, look out because you may be in for a big suprise when it blows up. I never fuel an outboard when it is hot. I have seen what it can do. good luck. Webminer chbenneck@juno.com wrote:
