Any reason I shouldn't make a gas tank out of a gas can?

I'm not even going to mention how I fixed the hole in the side of my gas tank with aluminum flashing, pop rivets, Mr. Gasket sealer, copper wire, duct tape, Swingline Staples, paper clips and Tic Tacs.

ZmOz,<br />I think that you should just line one of your pockets with a plastic bag and insert a fuel line into it. Make the line really long so that when you are moving around on the boat it will still reach the engine. Just turn your head when you light up a cigarette, you'll be okay!

The advice you are getting is designed to provide you with a margin of safety. These mariners know what they are talking about and always provide good advice. Spend a few bucks and purchase what you need commercially.<br />Stalker
