Need Help - 1970's Lo-Pro Fuel Vent Location

Member Personal Page Project Albums Posts: 532 Comments: 5 Joined: 09/04/07	I was talking to sraab this morning about my 1973 lo-pro project and a very interesting question came up. Since my boat is a converted outrage I no longer have the top cap to install my fuel vent. I am trying to find out from some original lo-pro owners where the factory placed the fuel vent. I would also be interested in guys who have conversion lo-pros telling me how they ran theirs. I need some good solutions on this because I am not sure how to work this out. I am going to have a new tank built so it makes sense to have this issue resolved before I pull the trigger on the tank. Any and all help is greatly appreciated -- if you know someone with a lo-pro ask them about it for me. Thanks! Rob 1973 Outrage/Lo-Pro Conversion

I think I am decided on the vented fill through the console. I hear the argument of fumes around the 12 volt system but I also can not count how many old center consoles I have seen with portable tanks under the console or under the seat seat. I have to move the fill from the designed location also so I think it works for me. If you are going to have the fill in the deck in the back you could just use the vented fill there.

I wanted them to be sure that is was placed in the stern area in near the fuel filler. Can not find them but I believe this is where it was located. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

I am still a way off from really needing to worry about it but it will be good for planning things out. Rob 1973 Outrage/Lo-Pro Conversion

The cover also has rod holders and the eye for the stern light. You are more than welcome to stop by and look at it for yourself I am in Clear Lake area of Nassau Bay. I can also shoot some photos for you this weekend.
