Gas tank installation

[SCSeacraft]

I did not have any problem with the 52oo and starboard set up and king kong coulden't get the strips off of that tank.My only regret is the size of the tank 130 gallons and with the new 4 stroke I would love to have that weight back but my range should be nice.

CJR - S&P did the epoxy coating. I saw no signs of sand blasting and think Don is correct. A good cleaning with lacquer thinner or etching thinner if you can find it will work fine.- PF

Les - I hope your not saying your going to 5200 the tank to your hull? I would consider some other options.- PF

I have built a couple of new aluminum tanks and had them sprayed with bedliner material. Have had no problems. I did put them on thin (1/4" thick) ribbed rubber floor runner to take up any uneveness of the tank floor so the tank wouldn't chafe while being bounced around. The bedliner material is safe for aluminum and is impervious to salt water, chemicals, etc. Any body else done this???

No , i am going to going to install a new 3/4 sheet just like what came out, Rip some 1/2 plywood strips ,screw them down with stainless screws then cover it with epoxy than add 5200 to the strips and set the tank in. I may move the tank forward about a foot, I have the room. Les
