Default Re: 72 23' SF fuel tank question

I'd pressure test 'em to make sure they don't leak before putting them back in. Looks like they were foamed in, which is a BAD idea. Moesly and Potter NEVER foamed in the fuel tank because foam helps to hold moisture against the tank, greatly accelerating corrosion!

Dual tanks are a good idea for a couple of reasons: 1. With the E-10 gas, you need to keep the tank full if you don't use boat a lot to prevent condensation and phase separation. Much easier to leave one tank empty and keep the other smaller tank full. 2. Allows better control of weight distribution and boat balance, especially on CC's which are sometimes stern heavy.
