[Public-List] Fuel tank

[Dana.Shafie@verizon.net]

John,
   I just replaced the metal fuel tank with a Moeller 19 gallon plastic tank on Sabrina, #158. http://www.moellermarine.com/oem/fuel_tanks/  It fits in the starboard locker, but I had to cut a new fuel filler hole in the deck and cover the old one with a metal plate.  I also had to fashion 2 plywood brackets to hold it in place.  The replacement was a bit of a pain, but the benefit is that it is easy to see the fuel level through the plastic tank wall.  Seems quite sturdy too.  Hope this helps.
