    Thank you for the video. Is it possible to include a link or provide a manufacturer for the gas tank stops. Thank you.

      Hello, I just made them myself out of 1/2" starboard. About 3" long and 1/2" tall and wide. Drilled two holes and countersunk them so the plastic tank doesn't rub on the top of the screw head when pulling the tank over them. Thanks for watching!

    Hi sir, very helpful video. Thank you!!! Where did you place your starter battery?

      @@tbone5327 Your welcome. I moved it into the console. It is fairly easy to do. There is a video on my channel about mounting it. Then just run new wires, be sure to upsize them to at least 4 gauge. I added a terminal block in the back well area to connect the new battery cables to the old cables off the starter. Then attach the small wires that were connected to the battery in the back to the battery in the console, those supply power to the main terminal board. Thanks for watching.

    what size hose? and where do you buy the extra hose and tank connectors to attach to the second tank?

    • @beechjet400xp
      @beechjet400xp  6 місяців тому

      The hose is 3/8". You can get the connectors at any west marine usually or Amazon. Take a look at the first comment, I have links in my reply to him. Thanks for watching!

    also, i cant see in the video where the pump bulb is located in the fuel line, where is that located in the set up?

      Hello again, you can see the fuel bulb at the beginning of the video, it is located above the deck tied in with the rest of the stuff going to the engine. I did not move it, it comes installed there from the factory.

      @@mikencrew8885 It does. The rear deck is very thick and solid. I also added a thick aluminum backing plate underneath that you can see in the video, I think it is 3/16, bought at Home Depot. Thanks for watching!

    was the bracket you mounted the selector switch already in place or did you buy it? Also where did you get your fuel tank blocks? I'm going to do this to my 2012 MPS.

      Thanks for watching. I made the bracket from aluminum angle from Home Depot. 1/8" x 1" x 3 foot.www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-in-x-36-in-Aluminum-Angle-with-1-8-in-Thick-801367/204273950

      I made the fuel tank blocks from 1/2" pieces of starboard. 1/2" x 1/2" x 3". Drill and countersunk holes so screws won't dig into the bottom of the plastic tank.

      Sent you some info but had to delete it as the size I had was incorrect. These are the correct size 1/4 NPT with 3/8 barb. Valve is 1/4 FNPT. Make sure to get the one with the center fitting that points back like the one in the link instead of down.
