Gas tank replacement

[Dabbler]

Good morning. I have just pulled my old tank (aluminum) to find I have been operating with a very corroded (leaking fuel below deck) tank. I want to replace with a poly tank but don't want to give up capacity. The compartment is designed to hold a long tank with a tapered bottom (75" long, 21 1/2" wide, 8" deep on sides and 9" to a flat bottom. You guys always help in spite of the BS. Thanks for any response. BG

Call Charles at Tallahassee Marine. 850-575-8623.

Chances are good you are never going to find another one that come even close to fitting. I would look into having another aluminum one built.

Here are some choices up to 52 gallons - http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product ... se&aID=21C

If it was original, and if the builder (boat) is still in business, you might try establishing contact with them for a replacement or suggestion.

Thanks. Do you guys have jobs? Great getting quick response. Tom may be right. I will check with Aquasport and Tallahassee. I was surprised to find that I could shoot through the tank bottom with my pressure washer. BG

WOW... a few rogue 3-4 footers thrown into the middle of a rough chop and it might have been exciting!!

If it's an Aquasport - check out classicaquasport.com they have a nice forum full of tips.

Catch 22 might be able to patch the old tank up for you if your interested in going that route.

I found an old ID tag. Florida Marine Tanks. Sent info for quote. Catch, I will not use my cordless screwdriver, forget the welder. Maybe pirate has a buddy that wants to blow himself up. Love the board but don't know how to make funny face yet. BG
