Re: Fuel tank builders/prices
Wow,that is a great price.I got 2 quotes from 2 reputable tank builders in N.J. at $900+. for the same tank.Must be the labor rates up here.Did that price include baffles,sender and epoxy coating?

Re: Fuel tank builders/prices
In 2004, I had RDS Aluminum in Perry, FL, make a copy of my original 27 gallon tank from my '72 Seafari, but with internal baffles added in. It included sensor, fittings, flanges, and double grounding strap connections. Total cost was $197. Aluminum prices are WAY up, though, from 4 years ago.
Figure on between $13.50 and $18.00 per gallon for a custom/duplicate tank today, not including shipping your old tank to them, and shipping your new tank back to you. But Perry is only 2 hours up the road from Inglis, so you could save a lot of money that way. Another way to save a little money is to buy a "standard" size tank that will fit into your existing space, such as the RDS tanks at West Marine, or

Re: Fuel tank builders/prices
I am the "NUT" that spent $950 for a stainless steel tank. More weight but I do not intend on going under the floor again anytime soon.
