Hello, I would appreciate some help. I have set about renovating my late father’s model motor boat, approximately 50 years old. Radio control is all sorted with a more modern system, boat is ready to go on the water apart from adding some buoyancy but I want to keep the vintage diesel ED Hunter, Marine Engine. I have purchased some fuel and this is where my ability and knowledge ends.

Can anyone answer any of these questions please – what type of fuel tank do I need? How do I connect a fuel tank? Fill the fuel tank and start the engine?

Unable to get the engine started, spent must of the day on it, so going to purchase a new engine. It would have been nice to get it running but to be honest I haven't got a clue. Any suggestions on what to purchase? Don't want to spend too much as it's just a bit of fun. The boat is a 1m long cabin cruiser and I'm not intending to race it.
