Fuel Tank:
• Holds the fuel for the outboard engine.
• Typically located in the forward bilge of the boat.
Fuel Line:
• Connects the fuel tank to the carburetor on the outboard engine.
• Usually runs from the tank through the bilge and up the side of the transom.
**Fuel Line Components:
• Fuel Filter:** Removes dirt and debris from the fuel before it reaches the engine.
• Fuel Pump:** Pumps the fuel from the tank to the carburetor.
• Primer Bulb:** A manual pump used to draw fuel from the tank and fill the carburetor when starting the engine.
**Fuel Line Steps:
• Connect one end of the fuel line to the fuel outlet fitting on the fuel tank.
• Route the fuel line through the bilge to the carburetor.
• Connect the other end of the fuel line to the carburetor inlet fitting.
• Install a fuel filter between the tank and the carburetor.
• Install a fuel pump between the tank and the carburetor, if needed.
• Install a primer bulb near the engine, if needed.
• Secure the fuel line in place with clamps or hose clamps.
