[QUOTE="Boat2fast, post: 365272, member: 13358"] I had a 2001 35hp 3 cylinder Johnson. It did a funny thing. The stock plastic fuel tank heated up in the hot sun and blew up nearly round. The pressure inside forced the gasoline through the fuel pump(s) into the oil tank. The gas forced the oil to overflow all over the ground and left the oil tank full of mainly gas. The color of the liquid in the oil tank was still dark enough green that you had to look twice to figure out it wasn't oil. I forget exactly what tipped me off but I discovered the whole boon-doggle before running the engine again...dodging an expensive bullet. The engine was quite new at the time. [/QUOTE]
