Inventions Needed : Marine inline fuel filter that is made strongly of metal and wont pull apart 12 14 2017
To be mounted inline just off the portable gas tank hose.
It would have to also be high flow model with no increase in fuel pump pressure required.
It would save intricate and costly replacement of fuel filter located in the outboard.
I would think a standard clam shell type metal fabricated seam would not be strong enough and eventually wobble/weasel apart.
So this would have to be perhaps a screw on cap to it that has one or more orings and a set screw, it would also have to be tamper resistant. And could or could not incorporate replaceable internal filter elements. Also it should not be so awkward that it causes separation of gas line from tank.
You know come to think of it all marine tanks should likely be made with this feature incorporated into the top of the plastic shell of them. Whereby there are mounting brackets and a fuel filter that is safely housed in all means as mentioned above.

One final note, I think that a marine gas can should be made so that a 300 pound man could stand on it. And it should have a flat top with an inset handle.
