New from southern Pa. with a 4 hp evinrude yachtwin
# 4036E - EO1161 what year is this outboard?

I have been given a accumix metal fuel tank (new) in the deal. Can I use the tank with a premix, "NOT" using the oil tank portion of the tank? Also, the motor had been fogged before storage so what is correct start up.

Thanks in advance Dave

I'm not sure what kind of tank that is but as long as it's vented it should work. Rick.

Omc fuel tank which also has a 1.5 quart oil tank built in that is to mix the oil and fuel in the line before entering the motor. I know my pump capacity is too low for this feature to be used. But, can I still use this tank with premix?

Here is a ebay listing of a similar tank if it will still show up #140308553526

Can you plug the oil suction line off? My only concern is that you might start sucking air up the oil line and you'll have all kinds of problems if your sucking air. Some day I'm going to get a new tank. Sure looks impressive. Rick.

go to walmart and buy a plastic tank, and fittings, a little teflon tape. accu mix ruined many motors.
