Fuel tank

[Sullivan21]

Greetings-we pulled the fuel tank and discovered quarter sized holes where the foam had held water and corroded through the tank. Will not use foam on the new tank. We will use the method described by Dave? Pascoe. Ordered a new tank from Sunshine tanks in FL. 3/16th alum. Sunshine has been awesome to deal with-highly recommend using them. Lucy is our contact at Sunshine and she is very knowledgeable and helpful. Her late Dad started the company 30 years ago and the family is keeping it going to honor his legacy. Very cool!

Made a slight mod to the actual coffin that the tank sits in-I added two pvc drains in the stern end of the box so that water will not sit there-it will drain into the bilge. Can't wait to get this tank installed.

I did the same and am very satisfied w/118 gallons.

Glad to hear it-Lucy said her dad was in favor of having as much air circulating around the tank as possible so we'll give it a go.

Tame way here. Tank I pulled out my '67 had little pitting. It was never foamed in!!!! Cut some fiberglass pieces from the old cap and 5200 them down to coffin and put tons of it down to sit the tank on. Cut some corner fiberglass pieces, 5200 them to the tank and used a strap going across tank to help secure. The two straps went across the corner pieces
