PORTABLE FUEL TANK

Place the portable fuel tank in a
well-ventilated location, away from
direct sunlight, to reduce the
possibility of a gasoline vapor
explosion.
To ensure that the outboard motor
will be able to draw fuel from the
tank, place the tank within 6 feet
(2 m) of the outboard motor and not
more than 3 feet (1 m) below the fuel
connector on the outboard motor.
