[Alberg30] Fuel tank questions

[Bill Blevins]

I don't live near a store that sells marine supplies but I do work next  
to a hose and hydraulic shop that only does this type of work on hugh  
equipment. I went to buy the fuel hoses from them, I asked how much  
more to make up the lines and fittings for a boat using my old stuff as  
a pattern.

  They made up all the lines and fittings and did the whole thing in 2  
hours and it didn't break the bank. I'm 100% sure that they won't leak  
now! (They said these new fittings won't require clamps, but I double -  
clamped them anyway. I've had enough with smelling the odor of diesel  
before it comes out of the exhaust!).

Here are the "before" photos:

I have to take a bunch of "after" photos, but just haven't had time.
