Would you consider buying me a cup of coffee if you find my work helpful in any way? if the answer is YES, then you can do that by clicking this link: bit.ly/LUV_COFFEE ☺👍
You are the best person ever and thank you for showing us the full details of adding an external fuel tank, many thanks.
So nice of you! Glad to help. Thank you! 😊👍
Thank you for this great way of supplying an external fuel tank. I wasn't sure how I was going to get this done till I came across your very informative information contained here. Again, thank you from San Diego, California.
You're very welcome! I'm glad the video helped you out. 😊👍
Absolutely great of you to share this - The 90 x Primer bulb refill is priceless advise - thank you.
Thanks Andelite! Glad it was helpful! 😊👍
Same motor I have. I just use an used 1lit motorcycle oil canister with that narrow funnel on top to refill the 1.1 Lit Suzu tank in water. If you do that per approx 0,5 lit per refill there is no spilling.
Another work around milestone accomplishment by the Florida Fish Hunter and a two thumps up as the FFH prepares for a motorized kayak adventure!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing!! I really enjoy your videos, very well thought out and informative.
You are so welcome! Glad you like the videos and thank you for watching! 😊👍
This was a very well thought out conversion, exactly what I was looking for, Thank you!
You're very welcome Brian! I'm glad the video will help you out on your conversion! 😊👍
Outstanding modification and demonstration. And video production. Thank you!
Thank you kindly! 😊👍
Thank you, great video. I did this mod on my Suzuki 2.5 and it works fine. I have the same fuel can and I had difficulty getting the fuel filter in the cap, but it worked with another cap from a different can that fit. I ran the fuel line outside on the starboard side of the engine and secured a fuel line coupler near the front with a plastic wire tie through existing holes on the bottom of the engine case. The engine is mounted on the transom of my sailboat and will eliminate difficult re-fueling on the water. Your video is the best!
You're welcome asilken and thanks! I'm really glad the video helped you out! 😊👍
Thank you very much. This is exactly what I need.
You're welcome! I'm glad the info has helped you out and thanks for watching. 😊👍
Wow, brilliant! I’m considering getting a little dinghy with a small outboard motor. The Suzuki appears to be very capable.
Thanks for your two videos. They were most informative! 😊👍🏼
Thank you! I'm glad the video helped you out. 😊👍
This was a great video.I am definitely going to try this. Thank you!!
You are so welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful! 😊👍
Just what I was looking for, thank you!
Hi Arturo! You're welcome! I'm glad the video was able to help you out. 😊👍
Man this is great!! I have a 5hp Nissan that I’m going to try this on. I’ve really been looking to have an external tank for it as well. Praying this works. Thank you so much for this video. There is not much out there for this!! Keep up the great work
Hi Mike N Crew! Thank you so much for the comment! I truly appreciate it and I hope it works out for your 5hp Nissan! 😊👍
Solid work as always! I've seen some people buy an additional gas cap for the engine and tap the hose from the external fuel tank into the gas cap too.
Thanks Jerry! I too have seen the gas cap conversions but although they may work, they are overly complicated as well as costly. 😊👍
This is fantastic. This is exactly what I am looking for. Need to do the same thing for my Mercury 3.5HP. Thank you!
Thanks Sam! Glad to help out 😊👍
great video I think I will try it thanks

SUPER 👌🏻 NICE and knowledgeable performance making this video step by step, 110% recommended... This is the Way ☝🏻😁👍🏻😎💪🏻... thank You Sir 😀... 😳😳👀👀 OMG 😯😯 and you have and Honda Element too 😎😎🙏🏻🙏🏻 Tank you Lord 😁😁😀😀🤣🤣👍🏻☻️
Thanks Nestor! Gotta love the Honda Element... I own two of them lol 😎👍
I just want to chime in with the others and say thanks. These videos were so helpful. I really like the fact that your solution does not require drilling any holes into the Suzuki. It can be returned to stock very easily with your approach. I have one question for you though. I would like to know more about the o'ring you used to better seal off the gas can. Can you provide either a link to a source or else a description of it. Thanks again!
You are so welcome! I am glad to read that the video has helped you out! 😊👍 My main approach to this mod as you stated was to easily return it to stock. I sourced my O-ring from a Harbor Freight O-ring kit I had laying around in my garage. I just selected the size that made the best fit. Here is the Harbor Freight link: www.harborfreight.com/382-piece-o-ring-assortment-67554.html
You could also put an inline fuel filter with a small 12v electric RC model pump to refill the tank when needed.
Hand crank pump would also do the job (Hangar 9 Manual Fuel Pump).
Great video. Really appreciate your sharing this with all of us. I've been wondering how to adapt an aux tank for some months now. I like your install and the excellent detail of how you did it. Question for you... Several guys have put out videos on their version of the addition of an aux tank. What's always missing is how do you handle putting the motor in reverse when needed. How do you do that with your setup?
Thanks Stephen! To put the outboard in reverse I just turn it around like you are suppose to do. The fuel line does not interfere with that operation.
👍👍👍
Hey great stuff, I'm asked what's at the end of the fuel line you put into the fuel tank?
Thanks! Just a random plastic nipple fitting that fit the hose to give it some weight at the end of the hose. It can be for fuel or vacuum and can be purchased at most any auto parts store or you can also use the brass type found in the plumbing section of most hardware stores..
@@FFHTV Awesome, Thank you :)
What size nylon tee did you use , I'm doing the same setup , nice mod
The nylon tee would be the size of the fuel line which is 1/4".
So does the external tank need to be lifted above the motor? I do t understand how a motor without a fuel pump can suck the fuel??
No need to have the tank above the motor... This outboard has a fuel pump. I showed this in (part 1) of this two part video series concerning the mod: ua-cam.com/video/RXJC2vevRtw/v-deo.html
I see on all components listed there are multiple sizes available. What diameter fuel lines, barbs, and such did you buy? 1/4" or 5/16"?
1/4"
@@FFHTV excellent I appreciate the reply my good man.
The last test what purpose does it serve?
I explained it in great detail at the start of that section of the video (Bonus Thoughts). Listen to the explanation again here: ua-cam.com/video/HyqQUL0vBWo/v-deo.html
@@FFHTV mi hai linkato lo stesso video...
Non ho capito a cosa serve sapere che 90 pompate sn 1 min non capisco
La suzuki 2.5 ha un serbatoio del carburante da 1 litro, quindi se il serbatoio del fuoribordo si svuota puoi utilizzare la pompa di compressione sul serbatoio del gas di scorta per riempirlo nuovamente al massimo pompandolo 90 volte che equivale a circa 1 litro di carburante.
@@FFHTV aaaa ok thanks
Sei stato gentilissimo a rispondermi
Io vorrei fare la stessa cosa sul mio mercury 3.5
Sono contento di essere stato in grado di aiutare
Where do you buy these components? I’m in San Francisco, California
I purchased the components online from Amazon. The links to these components are shown in the videos description.
I was gonna keep gas in 1 liter soda bottles is that illegal?
I'm not sure if it is illegal or not but I would not recommend it. I use an Optimus fuel bottle when I feel the need to carry some extra fuel with me for emergency purposes. amzn.to/43SsvVR
gas line out the front next time
Hi Deborah! You can have the gas line come out wherever needed but for my particular situation where my outboard is mounted off the side of my kayak I wanted the gas line to come out the back. 😊👍
