Re: 1959 Evinrude 18HP Golden Jubilee Fuel Line Conversion Help

[harpua]

quote Jerry Ahrens:

What kind of trouble are you having with the original 2 line pressure tank? A little rust inside usually won’t hurt anything,
unless it really bad. It’s easy to repair these tanks, and even the fuel connectors. Just a thought…

female connector is swollen wont fit on male connector, even though i can push the spring all the way down on both sides.

so much rust the diaphragm plate snapped off the bottom of the pipe and there is so much rust it has pin holes.

fuel line is rotted, so are the ones connecting the male connector to the gas bulb. (do i need to remove this?)

rust so bad its even all over the float. I tried to start the process with BB’s and Muriatic acid and made a small mess which was,,,lol interesting. i intend to build an electrostatic tub and completely restore the tank and potentially use it or sell it when done, but that has to wait until season end.

other than that i wouldve loved to have been using it.
