[Public-List] Gas tank

[Bill Ydel]

Stephen,

I did this job last year, my tank was steel and not aluminum but rested
otherwise exactly as you have described. We got the tank out after removing
the exhaust riser (one bolt sheared off) and replaced it with an 11 gal
plastic tank. It also sits on a slight downward angle witch makes the
electric fuel gauge inaccurate but otherwise works perfectly.

I decided not to put the tank in the cockpit locker because I did not want
to give up the space and I am satisfied with the 11gal capacity. The way I
use the boat, that is more then enough.

It looks like I will have to replace my gas tank in the next 
little while. The current one is aluminum and getting corroded. 
It is located behind the engine (an Atomic-4). It measures 7 1/2" 
tall by 18" wide by 31" long. The front end rests on an 
aluminimum beam running athwartships. At the aft end, its corners 
rest directly on the hull. It slopes downward towards the front.

I'm pretty sure I can get it out without removing the engine 
first, but...

Does anybody else have such a tank? Was it standard for Alberg 
30s? If not, what was standard? Where do other people keep their 
gas tanks?
