I added about a 6 gallon tank several years ago. The original gasoline
tank had been replaced by a plastic 11 gal. tank in the starboard
cockpit locker I added the second tank just aft of it, with its own fill
pipe and vent. I run fuel lines (out and in, for the diesel injectors)
to separate Racor filters. To switch tanks I throw both valves one way
of the other. I see no noticeable trim change. Must be some, but it's
not obvious. I keep both topped up to avoid condensation.
Incidentally, I checked my chainplate bolts. They are all 3/8"
stainless. Must have been done 15+ years ago.
