    i did that, as for current flowing to the motor. the motor is direct hooked up to battery. positive and negative. (outboard engine) nothing is grounded to the boat . but when i unhook the negative that i had installed to the bus bar and leave just the motor ground on, all my lights and...

(was put there by po) im thinkin i might just move it to under the splashwell . at least then i will be able to keep an eye on it and fill it with ease. untill i can get a donated permanent 18 gallon tank. and it will also give me more storage...

    Plastic gas tank outboard.

    so basically what your saying is that even when vented properly and sealed properly that i would still have a bomb? even tho its an outboard motor.... then if this is the case. all boats have bombs. so noone should be running a sending unit in their tanks or else Kaboom!

    Plastic gas tank outboard.

    and another thing, i cant afford to get another tank, so this is the only way i can see doing this , seeing as the tank is tucked away and very heavy when filled to pull it out to check fuel all the time.

    would you like to explain your theory of a bomb? i cant see why this would not work? if this was the case for a bomb for a boat what makes vehicles so different in this aspect, besides being a steel tank. ?

    Plastic gas tank outboard.

    would this work? im judging by the cap , that it looks like i could put a fill hose there, use gasket sealer (rv high temp red) ? slightly tighten with a clamp and then a vent line somewhere else. ?
