Default Re: Over thinking fuel tank replacement

Mick,

You might want to consider using a 2" hole saw and put a couple of vent holes on the bulkheads fore an aft of the fuel tank enclosure in the hull. Also, be sure to properly install a drain to the bilge for any standing water that should accumulate around the tank. I think if you do this, David Pascoe's comments become very relevant. You have accounted for venting the tank space as well as providing drainage of any standing water.


Good luck. Just my 2¢ worth.

I would say that BigLew is right on...My tank installer did the same...no foam, keep the air flow, watch what material you rest the tank on, and provide a drain for water collection. I researched Regulator 26's and found that the 90's versions had completely enclosed tank compartments...not good.
