    Remote Oil Tank

    I think I have a leak in my oil tank in the bilge area due to there being Quicksilver in the bilge area. The hose to the motor is clean. Anybody got a good used one that they would part with for a reasonable price? Or have any idea what a new one would cost? I've not called my local Yammie dealer yet.

    Can you see where the oil line connects to the tank? Maybe the hose is bad at the tank and that would be a simple fix.

    Re: Remote Oil Tank (BuzzB8)

    I have looked at the hose and it is all dry. I went ahead and ordered a new tank from local dealer($65). I may try to do this swap myself. Anything (tricks) I need to know? Does the line need to be bled and how to? I am not a mechanic but I do know which end of a screwdriver to hold:) and I have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express but not recently. Thanks for all help and advice.
