    Engine mounted oil tank

    Luckily this happen on the last run in and did not loose much oil. When i i arrived at the landing i noticed a film behind the engine. Pulled the cowl and the oil cap had popped loose. Not sure why this happened. Tried to tighten only to discover it will not not tighten up. Havent got to fully investigate to decide if its the tank or just the oil cap. So looking on Europeans site at the tank it appears the cap is sold separately or does the tank come ready to instal? Could someone verfiy the part number of the TANK ASSEMBLY needed. Why would this cap just come loose?

    Given the tendency for oil level sensors to go bad, and replacing the tank is the only real fix most of the time, I'd say this is a good opportunity to just replace the whole tank assembly.

    Had a similar problem on my boat when it was new. The cap had been stripped and they were able to just replace the cap. Was told it was a common problem with them back then and the reservoirs had been upgraded.

    My plan is to purchase a Tank assembly. After inspection. I believe a Tank is a wise choice was hoping to get a verification of the part number

    Go to European Marine's parts site, the most current part number will show once part is placed in shopping cart. If you order from them you'll also get BBC member discount.

    I would definitely replace the entire tank. Grab a few 816311T Radius-head tie wraps as well (and plan to have an Oil Pump Prime run on a suitable Computer Diagnostic Tool).
