there's a great debate on the classic mako site regarding fuel tanks....it details the difference between a tank manufacturer building a tank and a custom fabrication shop building a tank..... the bottom line was that the marine tank fabricators have more experience with designing for proper fuel pickup and fuel shifting in the tank. Evidentally the tanks are made to minimize fuel moving from from to back and if not designed right when getting the boat on plane fuel will move to the rear and not be picked up by the fuel sending unit......good thread and certainly an eye opener for me......
