Hey

I have a runabout 4.55 metre aluminium boat. The boat becomes cramped
with 3 people in it so I am going make some mods the boat. I am going
to put in a kill tank and an underfloor fuel tank.

I have a couple of questions regarding the fuel tank and venting the
take.

Does anyone know of some slimline tank manufactures?
Know the venting requirements of an underfloor tank?
Any other items I might need to know before I attemp the project.

A fifteen foot boat?

Ok - to start with, you have a couple of ways to do this. One is to
use a self-venting fill fitting and a handy dandy premade belly tank.

However, on a 15 foot boat, you will probably have to have a custom
tank made which will account for how the tank is oriented (for fuel
pickup purposes) and the internal rib structure of your boat.

As to venting, again, a self-venting filler fitting is probably the
best way to go.

Good luck.

All the best,

Tom
