Question. I filled my remote oil tank yesterday (went pass the upper line on the tank) and went to take out the boat today but could not get an initial start. I pulled back out of the water and used the emergency switch on the motor's oil tank with the oil line disconnected to my motor's tank to transfer oil out of the remote tank to a small container. When the oil level dropped down I heard the VST fuel pump kick on. Is there a saftey switch to prevent the motor from starting if you do a bone head like me and overfill that remote tank? I'm guessing yes, or should I be looking for something else that kept that VST fuel pump from kicking on?

care to rewrite the issue?
I speak English but sometimes barely.
whats a remote tank?
whats an engine tank?
I can deal with page long paragraphs.
I am clueless about most of what was posted.
other than there is no connection between the oil transfer and the fuel pump, other than they BOTH have to have the 12V signal AND a ground path.
remember, the remote tank is the one NOT mounted on the engine.

Either the main tank or the boat mounted tank can be completely overfilled without the engine even knowing about it.

its not so much your terminology, its ours.
I deal with technical cwap all de dang day long.
if you deviate from the terms we are used to seeing then double them it sometimes leads to confusion on one or both sides.
that's why I like to be clear.
its also why I wont post again about your issue unless you post a freaking model number.
you see your baby, I see a puter screen.
heck I aint even sure your sure you even have a medium pressure pump.
confusing

NOTHING with ANY alarms will shut that motor off.
IF you suspect it overheated you may wish to pop the heads off.
I just buryied one today.
it had an overheat 44 hrs ago.
spit the piston ring retaining pin.
then the next 44 hours the ring rotated until it hit the ex port.
poof no motor.
the Z and VZ motors don't tolerate lean or overheat conditions very well.
