Went to the boat store to get a primer bulb and some hose for the used old stye metal tank that I bought. The parts guy at the boat store told me that the primer bulb should be vertical so the check valve will work properly. I want to put the new tank in the back of the boat by the motor, bad idea another story. I got some like and a new motor fitting and put the tank in the back. I put the primer bulb about a ft from the motor and it was basicly vertical. The motor ran really well, it would idle for ever. In fact it idled the whole time I went and parked the truck, wouldn't do that before with the plastic tank up in the front compartment. The primer bulb in that case is a ft or so from the tank and lays on the compartment floor.
I am going to put the metal tank up in the compartment where the other tank was a the boat works better with the weight up there. My question is will the bulb still work if I hang it off the engine in a vertical orientation?
The fuel line that i bought 5' is the USCG approve stuff. What is run from the storage compartment to the motor looks like regular automotive fuel line, is this alright to use?
