Sailboat fuel tanks
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 |
