Re: [VFB] Gamefisher Outboard gas tank needed

W Hooo. I THINK I may have found a gas tank. I found a guy who has TWO Gamefisher 7.5 hp gas tanks for sale on ebay and they look identical to my 5hp tank. I have emailed him for the specs on his tanks so I can make sure they will interchange. Keep your fingers crossed for me cause I have be

It just dawned on me. I was looking up these external tanks and it says they are vented. So, does that mean that instead of that bulb pressurizing the tank, that it is just a "primer" to get the boat motor going, and then the boat motor's vacuum takes over to "siphon" the gas from the tank to t

Go to your autobody supply store and get a tube of Fusion, it is a *methylmethacrylate that is used to weld cars. It is a bit pricey, but it will lay down a bead of superglue that will absolutely seal around your hole. We used it to totally fix the rusted area around the 1982 Datsun windshield, we

Re: Fw: [VFB] Gamefisher Outboard gas tank needed/ORRRRRRRRR

Chuck being vented means there is a little screw in the top of fill cap. You screw in down to seal tank when not being used loosen when running motor. You squeeze the bulb in line until hard start you,r motor and away you go you don't have to squeeze the bulb any more it will set up a vaccuum Chuck

Joyce: I can't seem to find this stuff on any of the parts house websites. Are you sure it will weld "polyethylene" plastics?? That's what the tank is, and I have yet to find an epoxy or glue that is made for this type plastic. Thanks, Chuck - Original Message - From: Joyce Westpha

Chuck I have used something called Seals all purchased at bWally world and sealed the gas tank on my truck and oil pan on another car the car is still holding. Another way is to solder it using a iron that has to be heated on a gas stove. hope this helps. John - Original Message -

Re: Fw: [VFB] Gamefisher Outboard gas tank needed/ORRRRRRRRR

Chuck, the material looks and sounds like what they make holding tanks for campers out of, and there is a sealant for those, found at shops that carry camping stuff, or sell RV's, think of Camping world, also Wally world has a section near automotive for this stuff. Our fishing camp is a Winne

Re: Fw: [VFB] Gamefisher Outboard gas tank needed/ORRRRRRRRR

Peggy: great idea, cause I think that's EXACTLY the same type of plastic. I found a new tank from Sears, but it's $43 plus shipping. I could probably get a tube of that sealant for less than $10. My wife and I have been talking about hopefully getting this thing going, cause what we used to do
