Re: gas tank

It helps if you post pictures, I am assuming you have a check valve with an anti siphon valve inside of it as shown in the picture, Replace it and install new fuel hose of the correct size and rating. The valve seen is sold at West Marine or this site.
Also replace the sending unit its sold here on this site

Re: gas tank

install a fuel water separator, filter. clean as much as you can out of the tank.

Re: gas tank

my siphon looked nothing like that.i was wondering if there is another way of running gas from the tank to motor.with out putting float back in,i have never ran my boat past half way.and the tank,its a 18gallon tank,and i only fish and hoop for lobster in the bay or at the breakwater wall.im gonna try and post some pics,its im a lil computer handicap.
