Re: Extra Gas Filler Hole

[Anonymous]

Good Morning Slim60,
The tank style you have was not used in 1922, that tank style would have been used in 1927-28 period.
The tank cap filler neck should be and originally was in the hole towards the front of the tank. However I can see the benefit for someone wanting to relocate
It to the rear of the tank. If a motor has the accessory tilt bracket it would be best if the cap & filler neck were towards the rear of the tank. As a motor in the tilted position would pour gas out of the vent hole into the boat. Something that Evinrude possibly should have taken into consideration.
It is always interesting seeing the modifications made to motors over the years.
