This Mercury Marine part checks every box. The blow-molded body feels tight and solid, even when the tank is full and the chop kicks up. The carry handle has a secure shape that makes it comfortable to move across a dock or trailer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe integrated gauge is one of those little details you don’t realize you’ll appreciate until you have it. A quick glance tells you exactly what you’ve got left, so you aren't guessing halfway across the lake.

Mercury Marine parts are engineered for real-world boating—not lawn equipment, not general hardware shelves. You’ll get long-term durability, reliable venting, and fittings that match your fuel system the way they’re supposed to. An OEM tank saves time, avoids leaks, and won’t leave you wondering whether the issue is “just the tank.” When it comes to fuel, that peace of mind is worth every penny.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ1: Which engines does the 8M0054600 tank fit?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e It works with Mercury, Mariner, and Force outboards, plus other brands when paired with the correct fuel line connectors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ2: What makes this tank different from aftermarket versions?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e You get marine-specific engineering, better venting performance, stronger construction, and fittings built to Mercury standards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ3: How do I confirm this is the right tank for my setup?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e Check your outboard’s fuel line size and quick-disconnect style.
