[Public-list] Water tank and keel

[David Fisher]

That is perculiar...  I confess, I have never measured the tank myself; I am 
working from memory here.  I feel sure I have found something on line which 
gives the correct figure.

Are there any signs of the area having been modified?  I assume you have an 
inspection cap in the tank.

Incidentally and not a reason to influence capacity, I cleaned out my tank 
recently and was intrigued to find in the bottom a quantity of what I first 
thought was sand, but realised was some form of shell.  I found that the 
cause of this was not pollutants aquired during filling, but a crustaceous 
growth on the aluminium ceiling of the tank.  There was a reasonable amount 
there; certainly enough to require a scraping blade to get rid of it.  Had I 
not queried the existance of the sand, I would not have even thought to 
check the tank ceiling when I was cleaning it out; classic out of sight, out 
of mind.  In retrospect it makes perfect sense to check there, but if, like 
me, it never crossed your mind, do have a look there.

Cheers,
David
