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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm definitely doing this thank you very much. You're the man!
Nice! I always like to see money saving ideas and this is a good one.
Thanks!
You’re the best ! I will try this soon. Thank you sir !

Brilliant idea my man! Cheers! 😊
Nice job! This inspired me to try making one.
A good solution, may just have to borrow that idea!
Thanks for the vid!
Excellent Job man !!
Brilliant idea, thank you.
Exactly what I was looking for thanks
Great job! Thank you for sharing
Great idea. Thanks for sharing
Nice idea mate
Great idea thanks!
Love it!!
Thank you!!!

AWSOME great 👍🏻
Yes, it worked great.
Great idea
Way to get things done!
Gonna try it. Thanks
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.
like the idea
Genius!
Which fuel filter did you use?... model of lawn tractor?
Where did you buy the connector and bulb?

I bought the filters on Amazon for a lawn tractor 24 horsepower Briggs & Stratton. I think I got a pack of 10 for cheap.
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.
You are now my best friend thank you
Si può usare su un fuoribordo senza pompa della benzina? La pompetta nera può funzionare come depressione?
Did it work?
Can this be done without the filter?
where oh where can I find that filter??????
this is awsome
would really appreciate it if you could post the link looked on Amazon and want to make sure I get the right on

thanks for your help
That’s another good idea. Thanks again.
question, what did you use for a pickup ? what sits at bottom of tank,
Watch the vid man... 0:17
Genius
Aux test tank. Bless

That's awesome but I cant see anything but I got the idea
