I think everything you need to know about fuel tank and fuel system

You may also want to spend some time plowing through Title 46...which
won't be easy. And then there are the CG regs...their site is almost
impossible to find anything on!


Interesting, Peggy...

Quoting from Title 33:

" Subpart J--Fuel Systems

Sec. 183.550 Fuel tanks: Installation.

(a) Each fuel tank must not be integral with any boat structure or
mounted on an engine."

Would this mean that a monel fuel tank glassed into a sailboat keel would be
illegal ?
