I am installing a new engine in my Morgan OI41. *Since the main tank (mounted on the stbd side against the hull) was 30 years old I decided to replace it. *Had to cut it out in 3 pieces which means that the replacement has to be made into 3 separate tanks. *I realize that each of these tanks will need its own vent but I would like to connect the tanks so that I do not need separate fills and picks up. *In other words I want to join them with a flow-thru at the bottom so that when I fill the first tank it flows into the other two. * This means joining the tanks in some way. *I have a tank builder (in Miami, Florida) who is proposing to connect them with 1 1/2 connectors. *However he is unable to adequately explain how he proposes doing this I am hoping that someone in this group has had experience in replacing (and connecting) replacement tanks. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Joe I'm not sure why you can't put a single tank back in. A friend of mine had one built into a space on his boat. He had the welder measure it, build parts of it in his shop, place the parts into the area and welded it up in place. It worked fine, he pressure tested it as well, but would have had one hell of a job if he had a leak and couldn't get at it. John |
