Hi,
I have a 1998 Mercury 75 hp oil injected outboard on my pontoon boat. The boat is a 92 and has the original aluminum fuel cell that has 2 hoses that run to the side of the boat, one is the fill and the other is the vent. The fuel fill has a kind of snap cover and the vent is the vent.
My question is will this fuel cell work properly with my outboard?
The shop had the motor running 100% off my 6 gallon plastic gas container. With that container hooked up the primer bulb would get hard after a few squeezes. With the fuel cell the bulb does not get hard even after 30 squeezes, i believe that this is because the 6 gallon is "sealed" and the fuel cell doesn't seem like it can be "sealed" with that vent and the snap cap.
Will this effect how my outboard runs? I started it with the fuel cell and it didn't seem to run as smooth as before with the 6 gallon tank....or am i just imagining this?
Thanks for all your help!!
