    OMC 6 Gal Cruse a Day tank

    One question, F_R, marineengine.com offers two parts with different t numbers and prices for part no 17. Please see attached picture. I’ve got the second part no 0332488 for $6.99 in my cart, is that the correct one? Thanks, Jonathan Smith Lake Tillery, NC

    OMC 6 Gal Cruse a Day tank
