When recapping the fill make sure that it is secure to
prevent spills and to prevent the intrusion of water
into the system. Your remote oil tank is secured by a
nylon strap and quick release clip. Little maintenance
is required for the remote oil system, aside from
checking the hoses for abrasions and cracks and hose
clamps for proper tightness. The tank should not be
exposed to ultraviolet light, rain or seawater for
extended periods of time.
