[Public-list] Fuel Tank Replacement

[Mike Lehman]

Recently I installed a 34 gallon polyethelene tank in a power boat and was 
cautioned about foaming the tank in place due to the expansion the tank 
needs. Bob mentions 5% expansion in his email, and I just wanted to 
reinforce the importance of doing that with plastic tanks.

I'm in the process of installing a Tempo #640010 (11 gallons) under the 
cockpit floor.  There is an 18 gallon #640040 tank that might fit if you can 
get it in through the locker openning.  I just wasn't up for the struggle 
and I already sit low in the back anyway.   I found one in stock at a West 
Marine for around $120.  You might find it cheaper online.   I built a 
plywood box to hold it in place and protect it from heat.  FYI: You need to 
allow for a 5% expansion.

   Good luck...

   Does anyone know of a commercially available fuel tank replacement for 
the
Alberg 30 that can fit under the cockpit floor where the original one fit,
or a readily made tank that will fit in the Starboard locker?

Thanks,
