Okay, so i have an in hull tank that has been cleaned by previous owner about two years ago but haven't used it. Have been using external red tanks. Since everything is in running condition, I haven't been very busy lately and need something to do and thought this was a perfect thing to try and rig. Anyway, I have looked at the setup in the bilge area of the boat( 1987 17 ft Seaway CC) and have found a fuel filter/ water separator which appears to note that you can't put oil in it like a fuel/oil mixture. Also there are two fittings that surface in the splashwell, one is the fuel line coming from the fuel filter/water separator which would supply the gas to the engine, and the other seems to be a vent possibly which under the splaswell in the bilge is a fairly large hose compared to the fuel hose. So I have a 1982 Evinrude 70hp and I don't know if I can put an external oil tank in the fuel system or if because the engine isn't a VRO, it won't work. Anyone with information, thank you for chiming in.
I would like to get this working in order to rid the external tanks which take up deck space if at all possible.
