Well sorta. The ABYC regs state that a gas tank cannot JUST be supported by
plastic foam. It's OK to foam a tank in, but you have to provide additional supports. Probably because the long term strength of the foam, for support, probably degrades.

(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 ? D'd if I know...I only remembered tripping over some fuel tank regs while searching for waste plumbing regs, and since I was having a slow afternoon, went looking for 'em again. However, If do seem to remember something in my search that said glassing of foaming in any fuel tank is a no-no...but I could be wrong, and I'm not gonna hunt it down again. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://www.seaworthy.com/store/custo...0&cat=6&page=1 http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327 |
