Probably wouldn't mess around trying to plug into the fuel rail on an outboard.

Look a the fuel line where it goes into the motor. If it is connected with a hose clamp, disconnect and use the primer bulb to pump gas out. If no primer bulb, I'd get a double barb fitting the size of your fuel line and a couple hose clamps.

I use a Milwaukee M18 battery powered pump with an impeller. Harbor freight makes something similar. Or you could use a primer bulb or hand pump.

If you don't want to mess with the motor, you could always plug in some tubing or fuel line directly into the barb fitting coming off the tank and suck directly from the pickup tube.

I use the cheap old plastic gas cans and the turbo pump to fill the boat, jet skis, generator, etc. Don't have to lift the can, runs on 3 AA batteries and fills pretty quick.

Curious as to how many days of fuel people feel comfortable carrying.

I think this will work. I have a primer bulb in the middle of the fuel line. On the fuel line coming INTO the primer bulb there's the regular screw type hose clamp. On the line OUT of the primer there is an ear style crimp...unfortunately. Also right where the line goes into the motor there is also the ear style crimp. It's amongst several other lines so not easy to get to.

I'm thinking best bet would be to remove the ear style crimp that is coming out of bulb. It's easily accessible and then when I go to reattach the line I'd use the old school screw clamp.

I built a wooden skid under the existing steel skid on this 250 gallon tank to make it easy to load with a front end loader. It will fit in the back of a pickup.
