Really enjoy following your adventures! I must agree with some of the other commenters that rough seas could damage the hose or open the valve. I would hard install a lockout valve near the fuel separator with a hose and a cap on the hose to keep it clean and prevent any leak. Great idea, just needs a little tweaking! I wanna make sure you stay safe so I can enjoy more videos!
You do have a point Harry thank you so much for your suggestion and definitely I will tweak it up and make it safer really appreciate your concern captain😉👍👍
Like your set up. I use outboard fuel line with primer bulb like you have to fill gas cans at home from m y boat to in case i need it for m y home generator. I have a large portable, (17500 watts) which will run everything in m y all electric home. So it's nice to know I have over 20 gallons normally (usually keep it close to full ,,, 28 gallons) in case I need it . I can siphon directly out of m y filler neck and slide hose into bottom of tank. Nice video you made. Thanks!
Awesome Stacy thank you and I hope you have an awesome time on the beautiful island of Belize I've been there is awesome have a great time you and your family and thank you for your great support👍😉⚓⛵
If you have a big enough tank you don't have to worry about that I would get one of the generator fuel caps that have that fitting for hooking up to a portable marine fuel tank and extend the hose to plug it in. Then no need for cans or the risk of spilling fuel in the boat and if you wanted to sleep late you can still be cool.
I have been planning on doing this for years but didn’t think about tapping into the fuel filter. I think I will go with electric pump with shut off valve at each end. Your set up is ok for you since it is not below deck. Once I was transferring fuel from the engine room directory from the fuel tank with a siphon, I spilled some on myself..... the worst place..... it was not fun! Lol
Great video Cappy. I love the idea, one question do you think you could run the fuel line right to the generator disconnect the tank and it would always draw off your main tank? I wonder if that would work?
Hi capt remind me of our boat .we used the transparant Hose ..consider that time we saw a piece of rubber from rubber band stuck inside. .so Nice your video ..dont drink fuel drink coffee
That is such a great idea. I would take some harder foam and make it so it fits on the cutoff value so it can't open when in rough seas with zip ties. Then attach it to the side somehow.
That’s a great idea. I may try something like this for my dinghy motor fuel. I hate storing cans of gas on the boat. Maybe add a safety cap or a locking shutoff so that valve doesn’t creep open bouncing around or if something hits it and leaks fuel! Thanks for sharing!
thanks cap. and yes i will place a plug cut of at the end thanks for letting me know it makes sense, how is your summer plans coming, im planning to make future Bahama trip, hopefully i can make it😉👍⚓🖐
@@OutOnTheReef Weather finally getting nice here in NY. I’m in the water and working endless projects now. I have no doubt you will make it to the Bahamas! Looking forward to that vid!
@@AdventuresofHappyOurs I was just watching a program right now that a lot of people are moving down from New York to Florida, maybe this will be your future home😉👍👍⚓
Hermano, I am a little worried about that valve bouncing around, or even coming open inadvertently. Can you secure it to the bulkhead, add hose to it ending in a plug, or anything to seal it. Also, how about a small, 12 volt pump to help out
Hey, Out on Reef... Isn't there a way to just simply Siphon the gas out (while on a trailer out of water ) from a high position to a lower gas container? My boat is newer (2017) so has a gas tank neck that blocks a simple siphon hose entering the tank.... Is there any other way to Remove/Siphon gas out without the Retro-fitting you show in this video?? Thanks!
I got a gastapper 12v fuel transfer pump you can get that on ebay or amazon I use it allot for this sort of thing. You can use it to pull fuel from the main tank through your new aux fuel line so you wont need the fuel bulb its allot easier. You can also use it for transferring gas from fuel carry cans to main tank when you need to refuel or if you do need extra fuel onboard. Say you go over to Bimini and you want more fuel you can use it to fill the main tank. I will do my main run once i get there fill the main tank from the cans so they are not sitting onboard for too long. I got 2 flexible portable fuel bladders 10 gallons each off aliexpress which are good because once you have put the fuel in the main tank you can store them anywhere because they pack down to a small size you can also use them to bring fuel to the boat if there aren’t any dock based gas bowsers. But do get one of those gastappers they are very useful and those flexible fuel containers are also brilliant. If your interested and have trouble finding those just ask and ill give you more details. Awesome dude. Also good for getting old fuel out of the main tank as you just use that aux fuel line and pump the fuel out into your car or other container if your not using the boat for a while or suspect water contamination in the main tank.
Thank you for the great suggestion I really appreciate all your expertise sharing captain and I'll put some thinking into it 👍😉😉⚓⛵ have an awesome day captain
capitan bueno eso👍👍👍eso mismo lo tengo yo pero con una bomba de 12V de baja presión de carburador y muy importante la llave de paso por que si no sella vien te aspira aire el motor y se te apaga
yo lo tengo desde el otro bote que tenia con un solo motor, por que yo me paso muchos días afuera y no apago el generador yo gasto unos 4 galones diario con un solo honda encendido
pero se demoraba 15 minutos para llenarme 5 galones con la bomba de baja precio y le compre una de alta presión de fuel injection y es una bala super rápida 👍👍
@@OutOnTheReef el mio es 6000 pero yo no lo apago y enciendo el cargador d batterias tambien por que el refrigerador trabaja con 12V only y esas dos cosas me consumen como 9 o10 amperes
Good video captain I know is a old video but I was looking to adapt something like that , two question, My idea is run the generator at all time . anchor or on the way 9most of the time while anchor) with he line connected directly to the tank the way u have, I am not too much into "refiling the generator or containers using this system I am more interested on quick connect when I ready to start the generator and let run all night sucking fuel from the tank, You think will work the same way? any help will be appreciated !!! thank you !!!
@@OutOnTheReef The thing is if the generator will sock fuel considering the boat fuel tank is in lower level..I am not sure ..thats why I asked you,, seems you only used to refill the portable container..??
perdona que insista en este tema pero veo en el minuto 7.15 algo como conectado directo del water fuel separator al generador?...creo que es mas seguro si conectamos el generador directo a la linea del tanke que andar con todos esos containers llenos de gasolina..no se si probastes directo o prefieres llenar el generador cada 6 horas!! saludos y perdona la insistencia, los generadores de los barcos bienen con conectados al tanque anyway..podriamos adicionar un 3/8" Fuel Check Valve One Way Inline Non Return Diesel Gasoline para mas seguridad!!!
Have someone build a solar panel mount to overhang your cabin this would give you shade and also somewhere some to mount the solar panels to charge your batteries. Lots of sailboats have them. You could potentially use a lot less fuel while you’re out in Bahamas.
Nice video - detailed. Two questions..... 1) I want to get old gas out of my on-board boat tank. I have the same Yamaha water separator. If I connect everything the way you did, can I run the engine to pump the fuel without the need of a primer bulb on the output (from separator) line? 2) It seemed that you were siphoning without the motor running. Is that correct? If that's true, I don't understand how you got the fuel to siphon uphill. Oh - Love your boat!
I would imagine there is a way to run the fuel line directly to the fuel line input to the generator so no need to pump fuel, etc. Can use the fuel line quick disconnects.
Capt Crooked perfect system for fueling up the the gen set you could add a 12 volt low pressure fuel pump and toggle switch makes it even easier. Walla you are Rolling now Capt Crooked JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐠🐟🎣🛥🌴⛱🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hey capt. Hope you are doing well. Just watched video and couldn’t help notice you had a battery in there. Could this create a spark? Any loose fuel will create fumes so I hope you have some sort of ventilation in box. Stay safe and good job as always. Really enjoy the videos. See you on the waters brother.
Hello cap. Is nice to hear from you and yes there is openings for ventilation and the factory installed it that way and it passed us coast quard approval but thanks for the heads up cap. That means a lot 😁👍
@@OutOnTheReef Hey Capt... you make EVERYTHING more functional! You have the most functional 21' boat On The Planet.. (By the way, my buddy George and I got 7 nice Spanish the other day. I have my wife watching your videos to find new (and GOOD!) ways to cook them!..
Hey brother.. Been a while. Hope life is treating you amazing. Your videos aren't showing up in my feed like they were anymore. I'm not sure if you check your comments days later, so I'll leave this same comment on your most recent videos. You did something, that I'm intent on trying to make happen now to your Parker. You added an air conditioner to your pilot house, and I'm on this project now, but need some sound advise. Knowing what business you're in, I need to find best suggestions. My pilot house is slightly larger than your's, so in reality it's the same. I want a heat exchanger type system, but don't like the fact that sea water can ruin the exchange system very fast, especially if any unusual grounding or proper zincs don't work properly. We finally launched the boat here, on the east coast, after moving across the US, 3,200 miles away. My Parker 2520, has now caught massive Halibut and Salmon, all the bottom fish varieties and tremendous size lingcod, a world record cabezon and endless amounts of albacore tuna out west. Now, with tons of labor, endless money, and a fresh 1000 hour full tune up on my Yammie, massive amounts of maintenance and labor, we finally launched 2 weeks ago. I'm now putting blackfin tuna, a bunch of mahi (we still call them dorado), a massive king mackerel, tile fish and countless others I won't bore you with. I bet we have the only Parker 2520, with the same owner for 12 years, who's put this huge of a variety on our boat with the same owner, on 2 coasts, totally different water. So, my passion for this hobby only grows bigger every day, and I continue to want to push myself to do more, safely .. So, now, to help my gringo-ass escape the heat, when I'm use to the rural northern California coastal weather. It never got that hot there, but here, we are seriously not use to the heat. so, if you can point me in the direction, I want to start our own youtube channel to document the amazing stuff we've been able to accomplish here recent. Cheers captain.
That is awesome captain and sounds like you've been catching a lot of big fish and yes down here you need air conditioner in my case I have a 6000 BTU and if you can go a little bit bigger would be better for the Size increase in your cabin, and these Bulls don't have insulation so the bigger the better your boat in generator can handle but remember every time you go bigger on your air conditioner the exhaust needs to be bigger and the air intake and that is awesome for you to start your TH-cam video and I'll let you know now how much time it takes from me my TH-cam function. When I take a day fishing and the Atlantic when I come back I got hours of material that takes me close to 6 to 8 hours to edit so I can put it public on TH-cam so another words having your TH-cam channel you have to have a lot of extra time for editing if you spend eight hours on the water you match that up 8 hours in the computer almost Captain depends on your footage and what the quality of your video that you like but that is awesome😉👍👍⚓
@@OutOnTheReef Thanks brother! Appreciate the excellent info and feedback for sure. Perhaps you can advise a model or type. Also, since this is a heat exchanger type situation, exchanging heat for cold, using sea water for cooling, I expect that the warmer water out here will negatively affect it to some degree? So, if the sea water temperature is like 80 degrees, does that mean I'll only be able to cool down approximately 20 degrees or so or what's the average? Does your generator run it ok? 110vac or 220vac? I like the Westinghouse generator you bought. I went back looking for videos you made on this, trying to find the video you did, where you upgraded the generator to the new Westinghouse inverter style. I just don't like running salt water into it.. do they make a passive radiator style, where it's an enclosed system? I had a larger boat, with twins on it, that had heat exchangers that would corrode with salt water. Did you add an additional thru-hull for water supply? I hate poking holes in my hull, but likely have to do this. Wish there was another style of AC you can add to a boat, but a window style probably won't work.
@@poppabear9279 check out a video that I recently did on my generator and you'll see I'm Mason Shields to prevent from saltwater you going to like that is the second latest video👍⚓
Hello Captain thank you for watching my channel And it could be lots of things. You could check if your pump is working. Or if you feel filter is clogged.
You should be really concerned about the handle on that ball valve getting knocked around and accidentally opened while you’re in rough seas because it’s not secured to anything other than a hose. You would be leaking fuel into your bilge and you wouldn’t even know it. You should change that valve to a valve that can be locked out.
Go to lithium batteries and get rid of all that fuel, weight, em balance in your boat. Way more power, quicker charge and lighter weight. Takes me 3 hours to charge every battery on my boat even if they are completely dead 💀
Amazon sells cheap little 12v gasoline pumps I’ve been using it for years and even if the can is lower then the tank it won’t siphon all new boats have anti siphoning valves on tank I was unable to run my 9.9 hp kicker off the filter had to connect directly to tank bypass the anti siphoning valve a bonding wire should be used whenever you’re transferring fuel to eliminate static charges
That with the Rubber Bulb-SUCK's. Why Not use a small electric fuel pump in place of that Goofy Bulb that is almost exactly what I did on mine and I hooked it into the Generator fuel line directly and it RUN's without all that PUMPING CRAP, just say'n
Really enjoy following your adventures!

Captain thank you for watching my channel And it could be lots of things. You could check if your pump is working. Or if you feel filter is clogged.
What about an electric pump?
great idea but i don't need a lot of fuel my generators tank is 0.9 gallons so very little fuel needed cap.
Very informative great idea
Thank you Robert and thank you for watching captain
Great video thanks for sharing..
Thanks Roberto 👍👍⚓
Put a shut off closer to filter. Safer
Thanks Paul. It's a great suggestion I will definitely lose something like that to prevent any leaks👍👍⚓
The only thing you should have got a Yamaha primer bulb and diy. They are the only ones worth it.
Yes they're a little bit better thank you for the great suggestion captain👍
EXCELENT..................

Time to put some solar panels on the roof create solar power to charge your batteries.
Yes that sounds like a great plan captain I'm sure one day I'll get around to it👍😉⚓
This might also help drain boat fuel tank for winterizing.
Yes that is another great use ,i did not though of that,👍👍😉⚓
A battery and petrol in a confined space, what could possibly go wrong!
Is the way the manufacturer built this boat cap.
You should be really concerned about the handle on that ball valve getting knocked around and accidentally opened while you’re in rough seas because it’s not secured to anything other than a hose. You would be leaking fuel into your bilge and you wouldn’t even know it. You should change that valve to a valve that can be locked out.
Very true Captain I will definitely do something about it specially a cap in front of the valve will stop the leak if anything happens
Totally agree....great idea but the fuel needs a shut off valve at the source
@@brianblizzard7591 great tip cap thanks
Can add a zip ty to it.
@@robertp7209 great suggestion Robert thanks
💯
Go to lithium batteries and get rid of all that fuel, weight, em balance in your boat. Way more power, quicker charge and lighter weight. Takes me 3 hours to charge every battery on my boat even if they are completely dead 💀
That's a very good choice I would think in the future to get those Captain thank you
Amazon sells cheap little 12v gasoline pumps I’ve been using it for years and even if the can is lower then the tank it won’t siphon all new boats have anti siphoning valves on tank I was unable to run my 9.9 hp kicker off the filter had to connect directly to tank bypass the anti siphoning valve a bonding wire should be used whenever you’re transferring fuel to eliminate static charges
Thank you so much for the recommendation captain and definitely I will look into it and I really appreciate it😉👍👍⚓⚓
That with the Rubber Bulb-SUCK's. Why Not use a small electric fuel pump in place of that Goofy Bulb that is almost exactly what I did on mine and I hooked it into the Generator fuel line directly and it RUN's without all that PUMPING CRAP, just say'n
Thanks for the suggestion captain I will look into it😉👍⚓️
