    I see this as a way to replace the leaky nozzle on my 5 gallon gas jug, all I gotta do is add my own pump to this design and extend the line coming off of it.
    Thank you very much for the video inspiration!

    Yeah I'm about to do the exact thing. My old tank had the rubber push prime bellows deteriorate and I took it off, and there is a nice hole to stick a prime bulb in.

    That’s a lovely little solution. Do you have a link to that fuel filter. It’s such a good fit.
    Add a gasket or two and it would never leak either.

    When i primed my external gasoline tank on my tohatsu 6hp outboard and once bulb inflated, if i press more on it, gasoline pees out of the black tiny hose in front, is that normal? My engine started to sputter at high rpms and im trying to figure out what could it be, engine is new 2023, Barely used, always run it dry after use ,(i dont drain carbuterator though, just let it run idle until it shuts down, any advise would greatly appreciated)

    This is Awesome. You could keep all kinds of spare gas tanks or refill a few easy at the station. Could you send me a link for the filter you purchased. I want it to fit like yours did so I do not have to modify a seal.

    • @rcbloss
      @rcbloss  3 года назад +2

      I bought the filters on Amazon for a lawn tractor 24 horsepower Briggs & Stratton. I think I got a pack of 10 for cheap.

    • @frederickwood9116
      @frederickwood9116 11 месяцев назад

      Is that perfect fitting filter that makes this so nice. I guess I could go hunt for one of the right dimensions. An Amazon link would be cool.

    Si può usare su un fuoribordo senza pompa della benzina? La pompetta nera può funzionare come depressione?

    DAMMIT!! 🤬 After going bonkers searching for a decent remote tank, I just bought a $75 one that blows up like a football every time the sun hits it. I sure wish I had seen this video first.

    would really appreciate it if you could post the link looked on Amazon and want to make sure I get the right on

    • @rcbloss
      @rcbloss  3 года назад +2

      I bought the filters in 2018 and looked on Amazon and they are not available anymore for sale. All I can tell you is take your gas can cap that you're going to use and go to Lowe's or home Depot and see if you can find a filter that matches up.

  • @edreimer4058
    @edreimer4058 3 года назад

    I tried this but the filter was air locking, maybe because the filter is almost vertical, and the motor slowed down and died. Could possibly lay the gas can on it’s side.

      If the rubber suction bulb is a "2 way" valve, then it will not work. when the bulb is squeezed, one valve closes and one valve opens. You will not get a continuous flow unless you keep pumping or when one valve is leaking. Better if there is no rubber bulb or put a bypass with valve between the suction.

    the biggest negative i can see in making the tank that way. comparing to buying a commercially available fuel tank from a Marine Supply store is if you do fill up on the water or use Marina facilities. and God for bid a accident occurs Insurance Companies will investigate and rule they wouldn’t cover the damages the problem with that is if it’s in a Marina it can easily cause Miliions of dollars of damage to Expensive Waterfront realestate and Vessels i hate to sound negative on a good idea but i have owned many boats and several of them were Marina docked that usually require the Vessels to be insured by the Owners and Insurance Companies do whatever they can to not payout the bigger Claims so they have all these rules and do nots protecting them now i also kept boats on the Chesapeake Bay for years and Contaminating those Federally Protected Waters with Fuel or Oil spills can be hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines on top of the Property Damages i saw a teenager with a old car have a fuel tank leak and run into a Storm Drain that eventually flowed into the Chesapeake Bay Watershed incur tens of thousands of dollars worth of fines that his Grandmother was eventually being sued for by the State Of Maryland because of the Cleanup they attempted to handle the Grandmother was my neighbor and the stress almost killed her

      Having a gas tank storing gas with it's standard cap should not violate insurance issues. Only use when running your outboard. This would minimze any liability.
