Re: Gas can

That is the correct tank for that motor. If, however, it is rusted through, you will have to find a replacement as they aren't made anymore. Depending what might be wrong with it, most problems can be corrected. The dual fuel line that it needs and the engine-side connector can probably be found at vintageoutboard.com, tcoutboard.com, americanoutboard.com, sea-way.com, or lainge outboard. Many JohnnyRude dealers still stock the fuel line.​

Don't give up on that old tank. They are valuable and rebuildable. Do you have the fuel connector off the end of the hose? They are valuable too, worth as much as the rest of the tank.

Many people swear by electrolysis although I've never tried it. Just Google rust removal electrolysis and you'll find a wealth of info.
