Two motors for one fuel tank

[cloumar]

What is the best way of installing two fuel hoses in order to feed two motors - a main and a kicker from a same fuel tank (onboard tank) . Is a Y or T fitting with the nipples is enough, each line will have his prime bulb.<br /><br />Thanks <br /><br />Smoky

If you do this, you will need to disconnect the engine you are not running when you are running the other, reason is that you can suck air from the non running line. Also you need to be sure that the connector that you disconnect is absolutly working as it should. (shutting off the line completly). Another way would be to put in a three way switch so you could manually switch the fuel from one engine to the other, so you know the other one is shut off. This would be my choice. Air intrusion is the big problem here.

I've run my kicker's from the main gas line with<br />just a T for many years. You will need a primer<br />bulb for each line. And always prime both bulbs<br />and you will have no worry's.

I would use seperate tanks. Reason? Security, if you get bad fuel or contamination you can still get home.
