Abstract
Several embodiments of outboard motor fuel feed systems wherein a position responsive valve is interposed between a remotely positioned fuel tank and the engine charge former for precluding the inadvertent flow of fuel to the charge former when the outboard motor is tilted up. In one embodiment, the valve is a gravity responsive valve and in another embodiment, the valve is mechanically operated. In a third embodiment, a device is provided for relieving the pressure in the conduit between the position responsive valve and the fuel tank when the outboard motor is again tilted down to its normal running position.
