Are you looking to install one? If so, it is just something else to go wrong.

My wife's tubing tow-pig has a 115 Yamaha on the back, fully stock including the oil injection and remote tank. What is your question?

 

[paulsboats]

theres a plugged hose barb on the tank under engine cowling...is this where the remote tank hose hooks onto?

I'll be working in the yard today, I'll see if I can remember to pull the cowl and take a couple pix

Hope this helps. The line in the middle goes down to the injection pump, the line forward is a sediment trap:

is there no need for both tanks?

The remote line goes in near the top of the tank. Bottom middle line goes to pump (and then to intakes) the plugged barb is sediment trap like JW said.

It is designed for the remote tank to feed top tank which always remains full, and so it will not last long without remote. Your alarm will go off. The smaller motors (90 and under) do not use a remote and have a bigger tank under cowl.
