But what i don't really understand. How come that many smaller boats
(Diesel) have fairly small tank's, and yet the Diesel does not seem to
get hotter?



Just an observation to all this.....

Lionheart's 90 gallon diesel tank is INSIDE the starboard passageway
leading aft to the aft cabin (ketch). I've never seen it get any "hotter"
from running the Perkins 4-108 than not. Anyone sitting on the starboard
seat in the center cockpit is sitting right on top of it. Noone's ass gets
burned or even warmed. That would be nice in the winter!...(c;
