I can't seem to get a prime from my fuel tank so I took the part that the hose goes into off of the tank. Shouldn't there be a tube or something that goes to the bottom of the gas tank?

Hope someone knows didn't know if youd see the last good sign post but let me know if ya want to use the 7.5 I have.

Yeah I saw that post. Thanks. I'm pretty sure there's a tube or something that's laying on the bottom of the tank. I might siphon the gas out tomorrow and see what I can find.

Yes sir there is a tube, mine fell out and trust me, dont try and hook it back up. They become brital. Buy a new rubber tube at jerrys for 1$ and hook it up. Good as new. (fyi) a good pair of long needle nose fishing plyers will get that hose out for u.

That's what I thought. Thanks Kevin!

Wow. An easy, and inexpensive fix. COOL!

Well, mine wasn't a tube. It's a pretty good size piece of plastic that went right back into place. To fish it out of my tank I made a snare like contraption, like they use to catch pits and gators. Worked like a charm. Added gas back into the tank and my motor fired right up.

Right on Ted. Glad to see that you got it working!

Yeah, it's a temporary fix for now. I think it's time for a new plastic tank.

To add to this for further reference, fuel lines for weedwackers ( same type in little outboards and types of application where a proper pick up isn't necessary) Will break down over time, a short time. You can go to a place like orilies and ask if they have under a foot peices of hose that will hold to fuel on both sides (it doesn't need to be pressure, but suction (dont want the hose kinking together.) Best of all under a foot is usually free, just like the waste bin at home depot.
If theres more interest for fuel cells, wiring, plumbing. Im the guy to help out with it. I design custom containers, to be contained anywhere. I can do clean wiring (almost aircraft standard worthy) plumbing (coolant, oils, fuels, water.)
Fit in live well for drift\jon type boats?
