Reply To: Mercury Green Tank Question

[Jerry Neises]

Just to be more clear…one tank has a threaded hole that measures approximately 1.10” inside diameter and the standard Mercury fuel fitting threads into this hole.  The other tank has a threaded hole that measures approximately 1.2” inside diameter and of course the filter that I have is too small diameter to fit the larger hole.  The question is, did Mercury supply two different size threaded filter assemblies or was my tank modified to a larger hole at some point.  I’d like to use the tank with the larger hole, but need to thread in a fitting that will work with the larger hole and then use an inline filter.
