fuel lines

[ssmckeeves]

i run a 90 hp merc two stroke fuel injected and a 9.9 yamaha 4 stroke ,, currently i use a 6 gallon can for my kicker,, i would like to ditch the 6 gal can , and put a tee in the main fuel line,, can this be done?? ive heard yes and no.. ive heard it would pull fuel from the none running motor

just a shot in the dark, but a check valve should prevent that.

 

[ssmckeeves]

i think the primer bulbs have a check valve in them

 

[Vollmer]

These guys are correct, a properly performing primer bulb will deny this.

 

[MuskyManiac]

Yes, put it before the primer bulb and you should be good to go.

Have a optimax 2 stroke and a 4 stroke 9.9 kicker on the same fuel line for 7 years running. Seems to work, as I've never had a problem with the 9.9 kicker

 

[ssmckeeves]

it looks like I will be putting a TV in my fuel line and ditching my 6 gallon tank

If they both have primer bulbs on it your fine. the bulbs have check valves and won't allow fuel to be siphoned from the other
