Re: Fuel system Golden Jet (Eska 1713c)
Most outboards with an internal tank have a fuel shutoff valve for that tank. Pop the cover off and check. That would be all you'd need to do. Shut the valve off until you need to use the reserve.<br /><br />If there's no valve, you can put one inline with the hose that supplies fuel from the internal tank to the engine.<br /><br />Check, though, to make sure that the external and internal tanks aren't just connected with a "Y" fitting. If that's the case, your built-in tank might just drain into the external tank, defeating your purpose.<br /><br />If that is the case, you'd want to keep the valve closed, then disconnect the external tank before switching to the internal one.
