Remotely filling a portable fuel tank?

[Rudderman]

Hi guys,<br /><br />I have a 1998 15hp 4 stroke yamaha on my boat (runabout) and I mounted the tank semi-permanently in a cradle under the deck. Is there any way that I can get tank fittings, fuel pipes and a chrome/stainless filler gland so that I can fill the tank through the deck?

Its a Yamaha fuel tank, doesn't seem to be a model number on it anywhere. Its a red "plastic" tank with a handle on one end, it says 6.3US gallons on it, it has a built in fuel gauge and a black screw on fill cap with a little brass vent screw.

Thanks anyway....after reading some posts about explosions on boats, I've decided to leave it the way it is and just remove the tank from the boat every time I want to fill it!
