Merc Oil reservoir

[Robert Warren]

Does anyone have an old 2 stroke oil reservoir they are no longer useing? It seems mine has a little crack. With a few other near cracks in it.

good luck, mine cracked as well and couldnt find one either.The new one is much better though, easier to fill and a dipstick as well.

Where did you get it and what price was it? Anyone know of any good deals on these things?

I think I have 1 somewhere for a Johnson. Not sure if the fitting is universal. I was told by a marine mechanic that it is safer to disconnect them and mix your gas??

Years ago I did some metal repairs to both steel and aluminum with I think it was "Belzona Molecular Steel".

It was an epoxy kit, two cans of liquid and some cloth mesh. It worked well for repairing a car gas tank that was split on the seam in one case and for sealing a crack in an aluminum cabinet in the other case.

I can't remember where we bought it, might have been Acklands or something similar. Can't remember the price either as I wasn't footing the bill.

WOLF I asked the marine mechanic I use. He says they are both the same if you read the back

The engine is a 225 hp Merc 1994 3.0L offshore.

Yes thats exactlly as the one I have but I made mine permanant by adding the adapter on the filler and extended it with a hose to a filler cap just like a gas one I just look at ti and fill er up every 2 weeks or so, its in a special spot where it can be seen or damaged tucked away,ill ask my buddy if he knows of any
