The presence of multiple fuel connectors on some small displacement outboard engines, exemplified by models such as the Suzuki DF15, can initially appear unconventional. These connectors are typically found in systems designed for both portable fuel tanks and, in some instances, integrated tanks. The configuration allows for flexibility in fuel source selection depending on the boating application.
This design choice prioritizes user convenience and versatility. Smaller outboards are often used on a variety of watercraft, from small fishing boats to inflatable tenders. The ability to easily switch between a compact, portable fuel tank for short trips and a larger, permanently installed tank for extended use provides significant advantages. This adaptability contributes to the overall utility and market appeal of the engine.
