Re: fuel tank?????

Your motor uses the non pressurized tank with a pump bulb to the fuel pump.

Re: fuel tank?????

Your motor takes a single line vented tank, and the motor has a fuel pump which sucks gas from the tank - thus "suction type fuel tank". A 2-line pressure tank will not work with that motor.
