Harry, I "borrowed" an idea from someone, I do not recall if was here or the TSBB site.
I have a 3-gallon remote outboard tank, a length of 1/4 inch fuel hose, an outboard primer bulb, a plastic lawn mover shut off valve, and some hose clamps. The shut off valve is at the end of the hose. When the Honda runs out of gas, I can squeeze the bulb 16 times (IIRC) and fill the tank up. It is quicker to do than to describe. I hold the tiller and bulb in one hand and position the valve so that the fuel enters the tank. Be careful with that Honda gas cap, they can come loose and some have been lost. You may want to buy a spare. Most of the time I do not need much extra gas, so I carry a red Nalgene bottle made to hold fuel for a camp stove. The bottle holds about as much as the tank. A full tank lasts more than an hour. I can go anywhere on my home lake with that much gas. The 3-gallon tank is overkill, but it is the smallest I could find. steve Steve R.

Thanks, Harry. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
