For some reason I am having trouble locally finding a 6 gallon fuel tank that will fit into the existing space on my Oday 23. I am sure others of you have run into this before so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Jim,
Check out your local Evinrude dealer and ask him if he has any 6 gallon plastic tanks manufactured by "Dura-Tank." If they are still available, they will fit in O'Day fuel compartments which were probably designed for the old 6 gallon metal gasoline tanks. The last one that I bought didn't have a gauge, but it was pretty reasonably priced.

Metal Tanks

The fuel storage locker on the Oday 23 MkII (post 1977) was made to fit the old metal 6 gallon tanks as Joe said. The new six gallon plastic tanks (or at least the ones sold by West Marine) seem to be be just a tad too tall or too wide. I have been using the three gallon tank that came with my new outboard. Please let us know if you find a six gallon tank that fits.

Jim, I bought a 6galon plastic tank last year. It was the tempo 6gallon tank. It has to be the regular tank and not the ultra which is slightly larger. I bought mine at west but I donot know if they can still get them.
