Moving fuel filler

Powerboatnut · 19 September 2022, 08:47

Hi i have a humber destroyer 6m with the wide double console (so 2 seats infront of the console etc) The fuel tank is a 70L accessed under the 'suicide seat' at the front (as oppose to an under deck tank)

We want to mount the life raft on the 'suicide seat' so want to somehow add a 'fuel filler' on the side of the console. is there some sort of fitting i can screw or attahch to the fuel tank and then attach to the side of the console with some sort of filler cap etc to move the filler. (i dont want to just bodge it with piping etc for the obvious safety reasons)

Welcome to the forum.

Could you put the filter on the transom? I think it is quite a common location.

On the side of the console sounds like it would be quite prone to being damaged.

Filler cap not filter ��

Don't put the filler cap on the transom whatever you do.

I'll read the post properly next time! Slightly tear stained eyes possibly.

How about this type of thing?

You’ll also need a kit to convert the tank to accept the 38mm hose.

This may not be the exact kit to fit your tank but will give you an idea to parts required.
