Fuel tank for a 20
 

I found this tank online http://www.rodnreel.com/dmarine/aft9032.htm

55 gallons aluminum $270.00 new, not sure if it will fit anyone know the required measurements?

I finally last night pulled my tank out and this morning on the way to work measured it. It is 60 x 24 x 9 but the fittings make it about 10 1/4 high. However much to my surprise it is a rectangle. There is no taper on the bottom it is built into a fiberglass box perhaps to keep fumes out of the hull. I have a 1973. I am looking for a new one as well. Keep me posted on what you find.
There is a good chance I will fix mine as it is in decent shape. There is a product called lab metal I have used in the past to patch aluminum tanks and have had good success.
Although all of the repairs have been on the top.

I have noted that the tanks from this web site appear to be the exact same ones offered at West Marine...just less expensive. I have a 1969 that had a deck tank so I have no old tank to measure...I did try and measure between my stingers and I was at about 23 inches...but it was dark and I do not have good access or angle to get an exact measurement. I may go with the 40 gallon tank instead of the 55 as I will be running a fuel effecient 4 stroke.

Blue,
If I remember correctly, there is a tank fabricator in RI, maybe Bristol? Hopefully Trayder will chime in and confirm this because I know he has the name of the place.

I am in the process of rebuilding my 72 (20'). After pulling the floor up I had a local tank builder measure the space I had from the rear of the CC, forward to the casting platform. I was able to get a 75 gal. under the deck. I wanted as much weight forward as poss. because of the 200hp going on the back.

Luthers quoted me $560 for a new tank so I'm going to fix my old one. Its not too bad off. What are they coated with to protect them??
