I made some more room in the cockpit by eliminating the kicker portable tank. I plumbed the fuel line in the extra outlet on the Racor fuel separator.

May be old news but I thought I would share.

Here is a link to what the top of the Racor image looks like.

Looks like a good idea unless you get some bad gas somewhere. Then, you won't have either engine.

Sure nice to see ideas like this one that I would never think of. What fittings did you use at the filter head to go from the threads to the kicker fuel line?
Thanks for taking the time to share this one, Rich.
 
I went to wally world and bought a complete fuel line that included the correct fitting for the Racor head in the package. I kept the rest of the new fuel line complete with the priming bulb to use to siphon gas.

I you are worried about getting bad gas, the C-dory has the perfect setup.

Individual Fuel tanks. Fill the port tank at one gas station and the starboard tank at another station. The odds of getting bad gas in both tanks is very slim.
 
Thanks, I believe I will add this to this winters to-do list!
 
My Camera is charged and if I can figure out how to upload a picture I will send a picture or 2.
 
I installed a Moeller fuel filter/separator this spring with a line to my Honda 90 and a line to my Honda 8 hp . Both units worked well this summer. It sure is nice to see if there is any water or crud in my fuel.

I will be adding a valve and hose after the filter so I can fill my dinghy motor. No more carrying around a extra tank just for the dinghy motor.
