1960 5.5 fuel system

[223nbecker45]

I just got a cd-17 1960 5.5 hp johnson, my question is if I need a pressurized tank?
The fuel line comes off the conector and goes to what I thought was a fuel pump (before I learned the old motors took a pressurized tank) then to a fuel filter then to the carb.

Thanks in advance.

Should use a single line tank, it is not a pressurized tank.
The fuel goes from the connector to the fuel pump to the carb.

1960 should be a fuel pump system. How many rubber lines go to the fuel connector? Twin lines would be a pressure tank and a single line would be a fuel pump system.

It only has one hose coming off of the the fuel connector. So thank you guys for the help.
