[Public-List] Fuel tank

[Mike Lehman via Public-List]

Greg,

I replaced my tank many years (maybe 30 years) ago with an 18 gallon saddle
tank in the starboard sail locker. The tank is 36x18x7 and sits on the
shelf in the locker. You would hardly know it's there. I retro-fitted 18
other Alberta with this same tank replacement. It works fine. A concern was
weight on the outboard side, but it is balanced by the ice box. Jay
Davenport installed 2 tanks, one on each side. It allows for access to the
stuffing box and takes weight out of the rear of the boat.
