Default Re: tank install

TRL5,

The strips are attached to the bottom of the tank so the 5200 squeezes out to the the edges of the strip, thus preventing ANY water entering an opening between the strips and the aluminum. His point is that water sitting in continuous contact with the aluminum is the culprit in promoting "corrosion/pitting/weakening of the aluminum. The strips being 1/4 - 3/8ths thick provide passage beneath the tank of any water in the "coffin" to flow back to a drain to the bilge. The tabs are then screwed to the sides of the coffin using an epoxy resin barrier between the screw and the core in the sides of the coffin. (NO WATER Intrusion of the coring) That's it. Just be sure to use some amount of flexible fuel line so, if the tank should shift within the coffin, no fuel line will be broken or cracked.
