My 35 year old steel fuel tanks are just about history.* They are not leaking
but the tops are extreemly rusted and I'm afraid that they wont last much longer.
The boat is under restoration and I have just about everythig from the engine
room removed so now would be the time to replace them.* Everybody here
in S. Florida want's to make aluminum tanks, at outragous prices i feel, so I was
wondering if anybody has had any expiremece with fabricating tanks out of
epoxy/glass.* Would be easy enough to do and should be strong.* Tank capacity
is presently about 200-225 gal a side, so they say, and the existing tanks will
have to be cut up as they are just a tad to big to fit thru the opening in the salon.
I wouldn't mind having steel tanks made as the existing ones have lasted 35 years
if I could find a shop that would make them at a reasonable price.*
Just surching for ideas all.
