actually… if you really want to sleep better …there is a utube video.. or article somewhere where the guy modifies the purge valve and routes the ejected residue into a small container inside the boat.
Hey ! who knows maybe the 2 line tanks could become useful again by routing the oily residues back into the tank itself if the engine was modified for a pump operation.
.
one line would suck gas from the tank (tank cap open of course) …. and the second parallel line no longer needed could be used to return the oily crankcase residue back to the tank to be recycled. 🙂
the only oil into the lake would be limited to “some” unburnt fresh fuel/oil mix pushed out the exhaust ports during the upstroke.
