Tank for 4t outboard any suggestions?

[dunkelly]

Ive recently bought a small 4stroke outboard without an integral tank to save weight . I now want to make a separate tank for it . I only have room for around a 5litre tank in my vented space on the boat . Ideally I'd like to use a standard 5 litre plastic tank and fit a take of and vent to the cap , anyone got any suggestions on fittings for the take off etc or alternatives ?

Go to a Chainsaw / Garden service .... they have pickups which are also filters - pipes - all sorts to get you started.

Can't you fit one of the many tanks designed for the purpose?

That looks great but I think to big . Where did you find it . I've looked online and can't see anything like it .

Tried the ones on the island but not very helpful

If you were here .. I could give you Husqvarna pipes / pickup filter weights ... self sealing rubber based plugs to fit into a plastic container ...

Sorry your locals are no help.

Lots of shapes and sizes on here: just remember to get the right coupling for your make of O/B.

Google just found it somewhere. Could have been Oz.

Honestly ... Chromedome / wallacebob have a better solutions .....

Get a purpose set up tank kit ... they are available in small sizes. The Diesel heater I just bought has a slimline 10ltr tank with what are similar to garden tool fuel fittings.
