How do you manifold 4 tanks in a small space?
Your pickups need to be on top of the tank. Where is the manifold located? "Jim" wrote in message k.net...

Also water...is there a problem with fiberglass water tanks? Thanks in advance I was up against replacing the tanks in my trawler a couple of years ago. I did a lot of research, and read all the discussions, but the advice I decided to follow was given to me by an old guy who has been replacing tanks for years. His advise: Modular aluminum fuel tanks, connected to together by a manifold. You put the new ones in through the existing openings. That way you can replace them if ever needed. I replaced two 150 gallon tanks with four 50 gallon tanks, and a lot of extra space. I can add more if I ever need the capacity. Have the tanks made by a company that has a track record of making aluminum fuel tanks. If done properly, aluminum tanks seem to be the best material, for a bunch of reasons. Plastic for water tanks. I followed his advice and am very happy with the results. I also spent a lot less money that I hear others spend for the same project. My opinion Jim |
