Craig,

Four of us lifted an original 180-gallon tank from Bruce's truck and walked it over to Doug's truck a few spaces down at the Flophouse this weekend. I'd guess 160-180 lbs (assuming I had one quarter of the weight on my corner). Just a guess.

Hi Guys,

Are these 320 gal. tanks from Nautic Marine for a 31B? If so, What are the dimensions? I'm gathering all the information I can, in case they add ethanol to diesel fuel and I have to replace my perfectly good fiberglass tank.

If they put Ethanol into our diesel fuel, we might as well all blow our brains out. I've got a full teak deck and putting a sawzall to it is more than I could take. Walter
