Overton's sells plastic tanks in all kinds of sizes and shapes. You may be able to transfer the existing fitting or can buy a new fitting at local hardware stores for about $9.

Check first for small plastic "manufacturing debris" inside.

Plastic tanks should be kept out of the sun. At a garage sale, I bought a somewhat sun-faded plastic tank for $1 just to see what made them "tick".

The result was disappointing: they're really simple inside, so I stacked the two halves in my garage for a photograph, and forgot about them. Later, when I looked for them, the bottom half had torn itself into several weird shapes.

The below photo is the top half, which I'm adapting for an irrigation project—unrelated to gasoline.

Kerk,

I need a single line type OMC tank.

My setup has one fuel line coming off external fuel-filter seperater, directly into the outboard connection. I have another separate line from oil tank resevoir directly into outboard connection. They're wrapped together, b ut separate lines.

That said, I can leave the oil line connected to the outboard as is,
and just remove the current fuel line from fuel-filter, and use the aux. tank connection instead in it's place as the source for gas.

Please let me know if you have single line type OMC tank.

Thanks,
Bigdog

I have a Mercury tank and what I believe is a Johnson tank. Both are 6 gallon single line The Johnson tank may leak around the fitting. I haven't used either of them in many years. They are stored in a shed but show significant aging.

If you are going to be passing through Merrimack NH on a weekend, send me a PM and I'll give you my cell #, or give me yours. I'm in and out on weekends but if I know you're coming we can co-ordinate a meeting.

Thanks Kamper for the offer, much apprecaited !

However, rather than a tank which may be rusted or need repair, going to hunt out a tank at M & M in Meredith..
