When you’re running a small outboard, you don’t want to think about vapor lock, flimsy tanks, or guesswork.

That’s exactly why this Mercury Marine part — the 8M0045692 portable fuel tank — earns its keep. It’s the kind of gear you grab with confidence because it simply works, day after long day on the water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eDesigned for portable fueling of Mercury, Mariner, and Force outboards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eStrong blow-molded polyethylene construction with UV protection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIntegrated top carry handle for easy, secure lifting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIncludes a diurnal cap and fuel demand valve\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThree-point-two gallon capacity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMeets 2011 Environmental Protection Agency pressurized portable tank requirements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eBuilt to deliver stable fuel flow even during hot weather and long idle periods\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eSuitable for most portable Mercury, Mariner, and Force outboards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eWorks with other outboard brands when used with the correct fuel line fittings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIdeal for jon boats, dinghies, inflatables, skiffs, small center consoles, and utility boats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ePerfect for portable setups, backup fuel, or kicker motor systems\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eA small fuel tank may not seem like a big deal, but on the water, it absolutely is.
