Really enjoy following your adventures! I must agree with some of the other commenters that rough seas could damage the hose or open the valve. I would hard install a lockout valve near the fuel separator with a hose and a cap on the hose to keep it clean and prevent any leak. Great idea, just needs a little tweaking! I wanna make sure you stay safe so I can enjoy more videos!

Like your set up. I use outboard fuel line with primer bulb like you have to fill gas cans at home from m y boat to in case i need it for m y home generator. I have a large portable, (17500 watts) which will run everything in m y all electric home. So it's nice to know I have over 20 gallons normally (usually keep it close to full ,,, 28 gallons) in case I need it . I can siphon directly out of m y filler neck and slide hose into bottom of tank. Nice video you made. Thanks!

Excellent tutorial easy to comprehend ,concise ,intelligent to the point 🤙

Another great video, Cap! You always make everything look so easy. This time next week my OOTR shirt is going to be in Belize on vacay!! Stay safe...

If you have a big enough tank you don't have to worry about that I would get one of the generator fuel caps that have that fitting for hooking up to a portable marine fuel tank and extend the hose to plug it in. Then no need for cans or the risk of spilling fuel in the boat and if you wanted to sleep late you can still be cool.

That is such a great idea. I would take some harder foam and make it so it fits on the cutoff value so it can't open when in rough seas with zip ties. Then attach it to the side somehow.

I have been planning on doing this for years but didn’t think about tapping into the fuel filter. I think I will go with electric pump with shut off valve at each end. Your set up is ok for you since it is not below deck. Once I was transferring fuel from the engine room directory from the fuel tank with a siphon, I spilled some on myself..... the worst place..... it was not fun! Lol

Nítido. Saludos ya me tenías aburrido en casa sin tus videos.

I got a gastapper 12v fuel transfer pump you can get that on ebay or amazon I use it allot for this sort of thing. You can use it to pull fuel from the main tank through your new aux fuel line so you wont need the fuel bulb its allot easier. You can also use it for transferring gas from fuel carry cans to main tank when you need to refuel or if you do need extra fuel onboard. Say you go over to Bimini and you want more fuel you can use it to fill the main tank. I will do my main run once i get there fill the main tank from the cans so they are not sitting onboard for too long. I got 2 flexible portable fuel bladders 10 gallons each off aliexpress which are good because once you have put the fuel in the main tank you can store them anywhere because they pack down to a small size you can also use them to bring fuel to the boat if there aren’t any dock based gas bowsers. But do get one of those gastappers they are very useful and those flexible fuel containers are also brilliant. If your interested and have trouble finding those just ask and ill give you more details. Awesome dude. Also good for getting old fuel out of the main tank as you just use that aux fuel line and pump the fuel out into your car or other container if your not using the boat for a while or suspect water contamination in the main tank.

Hey Capitan great video very helpful thank you for sharing this 👍

That’s a great idea. I may try something like this for my dinghy motor fuel. I hate storing cans of gas on the boat. Maybe add a safety cap or a locking shutoff so that valve doesn’t creep open bouncing around or if something hits it and leaks fuel! Thanks for sharing!

Hi capt remind me of our boat .we used the transparant Hose ..consider that time we saw a piece of rubber from rubber band stuck inside. .so Nice your video ..dont drink fuel drink coffee

Capt Crooked perfect system for fueling up the the gen set you could add a 12 volt low pressure fuel pump and toggle switch makes it even easier. Walla you are Rolling now Capt Crooked JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐠🐟🎣🛥🌴⛱🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi Captain very good and useful idea stay safe

Great video captain. I was wondering why you would take fuel out of your boat. Having air conditioning sure is a good reason!

..good info. great vid...stay safe skipper..

capitan bueno eso👍👍👍eso mismo lo tengo yo pero con una bomba de 12V de baja presión de carburador y muy importante la llave de paso por que si no sella vien te aspira aire el motor y se te apaga

Great video thanks for sharing..

Hi Capt.... great idea, and very nice installation!

Very informative great idea

I like it! Good idea! 😎👍⚓

Have someone build a solar panel mount to overhang your cabin this would give you shade and also somewhere some to mount the solar panels to charge your batteries. Lots of sailboats have them. You could potentially use a lot less fuel while you’re out in Bahamas.

I would imagine there is a way to run the fuel line directly to the fuel line input to the generator so no need to pump fuel, etc. Can use the fuel line quick disconnects.

Nice great info 👏👏👏

Great video Cappy. I love the idea, one question do you think you could run the fuel line right to the generator disconnect the tank and it would always draw off your main tank? I wonder if that would work?

EXCELENT..................

As aways great vid and advise

I'd use a locking ball valve so it can't open up while inside the compartment due to bouncing around.

Hermano, I am a little worried about that valve bouncing around, or even coming open inadvertently. Can you secure it to the bulkhead, add hose to it ending in a plug, or anything to seal it. Also, how about a small, 12 volt pump to help out

Should have a valve at the filter head, hose may become damaged and leak. Seen this happen many times on this type of modification.

Good evening, I'm Mohammed from the UAE, Dubai, I suffer from the lack of fuel reaching the engine 250 Yamaha

Nice!!! 👍

The only thing you should have got a Yamaha primer bulb and diy. They are the only ones worth it.

This might also help drain boat fuel tank for winterizing.

Put a shut off closer to filter. Safer

Nice video - detailed. Two questions..... 1) I want to get old gas out of my on-board boat tank. I have the same Yamaha water separator. If I connect everything the way you did, can I run the engine to pump the fuel without the need of a primer bulb on the output (from separator) line? 2) It seemed that you were siphoning without the motor running. Is that correct? If that's true, I don't understand how you got the fuel to siphon uphill. Oh - Love your boat!

Hey brother.. Been a while. Hope life is treating you amazing. Your videos aren't showing up in my feed like they were anymore. I'm not sure if you check your comments days later, so I'll leave this same comment on your most recent videos. You did something, that I'm intent on trying to make happen now to your Parker. You added an air conditioner to your pilot house, and I'm on this project now, but need some sound advise. Knowing what business you're in, I need to find best suggestions. My pilot house is slightly larger than your's, so in reality it's the same. I want a heat exchanger type system, but don't like the fact that sea water can ruin the exchange system very fast, especially if any unusual grounding or proper zincs don't work properly. We finally launched the boat here, on the east coast, after moving across the US, 3,200 miles away. My Parker 2520, has now caught massive Halibut and Salmon, all the bottom fish varieties and tremendous size lingcod, a world record cabezon and endless amounts of albacore tuna out west. Now, with tons of labor, endless money, and a fresh 1000 hour full tune up on my Yammie, massive amounts of maintenance and labor, we finally launched 2 weeks ago. I'm now putting blackfin tuna, a bunch of mahi (we still call them dorado), a massive king mackerel, tile fish and countless others I won't bore you with. I bet we have the only Parker 2520, with the same owner for 12 years, who's put this huge of a variety on our boat with the same owner, on 2 coasts, totally different water. So, my passion for this hobby only grows bigger every day, and I continue to want to push myself to do more, safely .. So, now, to help my gringo-ass escape the heat, when I'm use to the rural northern California coastal weather. It never got that hot there, but here, we are seriously not use to the heat. so, if you can point me in the direction, I want to start our own youtube channel to document the amazing stuff we've been able to accomplish here recent. Cheers captain.

Hey, Out on Reef... Isn't there a way to just simply Siphon the gas out (while on a trailer out of water ) from a high position to a lower gas container? My boat is newer (2017) so has a gas tank neck that blocks a simple siphon hose entering the tank.... Is there any other way to Remove/Siphon gas out without the Retro-fitting you show in this video?? Thanks!

Hey capt. Hope you are doing well. Just watched video and couldn’t help notice you had a battery in there. Could this create a spark? Any loose fuel will create fumes so I hope you have some sort of ventilation in box. Stay safe and good job as always. Really enjoy the videos. See you on the waters brother.

Good video captain I know is a old video but I was looking to adapt something like that , two question, My idea is run the generator at all time . anchor or on the way 9most of the time while anchor) with he line connected directly to the tank the way u have, I am not too much into "refiling the generator or containers using this system I am more interested on quick connect when I ready to start the generator and let run all night sucking fuel from the tank, You think will work the same way? any help will be appreciated !!! thank you !!!

What about an electric pump?

Time to put some solar panels on the roof create solar power to charge your batteries.

A battery and petrol in a confined space, what could possibly go wrong!

Great video capt as always..how long does your generator run on a full tank?thanks

How many gallons does the boat tank hold

awesome. How big is ur tank in the boat captain ?

Go to lithium batteries and get rid of all that fuel, weight, em balance in your boat. Way more power, quicker charge and lighter weight. Takes me 3 hours to charge every battery on my boat even if they are completely dead 💀

That with the Rubber Bulb-SUCK's. Why Not use a small electric fuel pump in place of that Goofy Bulb that is almost exactly what I did on mine and I hooked it into the Generator fuel line directly and it RUN's without all that PUMPING CRAP, just say'n

You should be really concerned about the handle on that ball valve getting knocked around and accidentally opened while you’re in rough seas because it’s not secured to anything other than a hose. You would be leaking fuel into your bilge and you wouldn’t even know it. You should change that valve to a valve that can be locked out.

Amazon sells cheap little 12v gasoline pumps I’ve been using it for years and even if the can is lower then the tank it won’t siphon all new boats have anti siphoning valves on tank I was unable to run my 9.9 hp kicker off the filter had to connect directly to tank bypass the anti siphoning valve a bonding wire should be used whenever you’re transferring fuel to eliminate static charges
