Default Question about replacement gas tank.

Why not go with a polyethylene tank?



Good question.

The space we have for the tank is limited. The cylindrical shape
works well there. But it would have to be very close to the same
diameter & length. Otherwise it wouldn't fit or else we'd loose
capacity.

So, can they custom make those polyethylene tanks to my needs
and/or do you think they'd be available in the size we need?



Thanks.



Talk to a welder or maker of tanker trucks. They could weld end caps on a
15" diameter aluminum pipe. Either 60xx or 50xx series for marine use. Low
copper, more corrosion resistant. A good welder would add a couple of
baffles, and the fittings for hoses.

Also contact Coastline Equipment in Bellingham, WA. they make most of the
aluminum fuel tanks for the northwet boat manufacturers.
