Abstract
A fuel system for a dual fuel outboard motor having a fuel connector in position to have a second connector connected to it to enable fuel to be transfered to the motor from a remote fuel tank via a hose leading to the second connector. A small tank of starting fuel is mounted on the motor and has a vent and a vent conduit leading to a valve in the motor-mounted fuel connector. The valve opens and closes the vent in response to connection and disconnection, respectively, of the connectors.
