I'm going to pick it up today at the trucking depot. I'll let you know how my measurements worked out.

Sorry for the late reply. I was away. I looked inside the tank and saw a large number of rivets used to hold the baffles in place. I thought they would be a problem. I had talked to someone who had the tank removed and they said it was easy. It was not easy until I found someone who told me what to ...

I just had a stainless tank built by nautic marine in florida for $2250. Alum is cheaper but I worry about the unresolved inpact of 15% or higher ethanol

kevin I've sent you a PM so we can discuss the work I've done so far. My new tank is ready and will ship after I get back from Costa Rica. I also had a tough time figuring out how to remove the tank after cutting the tabs that were obviously holding the tank in place. I finally called a boatyard in ...

I've just ordered my new SS tank from Doug at Nautic Marine. He told me that the new tank will not require anti-siphon valves. My old tank had 2, 1 per engine fuel line. What changed since 1983?

I couldn't find a fabricator in my area to make me a SS tank so that leaves relining my existing tank. I got an estimate from a fiberglass fabricator to do t...

HELP!!!!! As said in a previous post, I have removed the 135 gal tank on my 1983 26ft bertram. I plan on relining. I peeked inside the tank via an inspection plate that also holds the fuel level and was surprised . I assumed the tank, which is in the shape of a low, fat tee, was built like a box----...

I'm new to this board. I have a 1983 26 bertram with a fiberglass tank. I just finished removing the tank and plan to reline. I have a couple of questions. My plan is to recoat the inside with interplastic corp resin (or similar) then further recoat with a layer of a tank liner called POR-15. I wrot...
