Thanks for that Rick. I was was thinking about just measuring it - but way better to mock up a "real" shape. I'm pretty sure I can drop the tank in - my bigger job will be building new supports underneath to hold it in place. I will also try to mock up the holding tank - as getting that into the v-berth will be tricky!

Mark,

Once you decide on which tank you want, make up a cardboard box mock-up of
it to make sure you'll be able to get it into the spot where you want to
mount it.  I did that when I put a holding tank in my 25.  I was lucky and
the tank I wanted just fit through the opening under the V-berth.

Anyone know if the Moeller tanks already come with a fuel gauge/sensor?
I can buy the kit with the electronic sensor and the return line - but I'm
happy to T the return line into the fuel feed or into the vent line
- but if I need to buy a fuel sensor anyway they I will likely buy the kit
(of course I'll also need an electronic gauge as well).


As for repair or replace - I guess it makes sense as I think about it - a
repair might buy me 2-10yrs - and failure could be a horrible mess.
A new plastic tank will last longer than I will and won't ever be a point of
concern.
Don't think I'll bother having a new custom made aluminum tank - one of the
pre-fab Moeller tanks will work with a bit of effort.

Next time I'm down at the boat I need to do some measurements - make sure
everything will fit and figure out how to fabricate a new base and maybe
fiberglass in some edge frames.

Thanks Wal. Other than the heating issue, which shouldn't be a problem as
the fuel gets mixed with incoming fuel from the tank, many fuel filter
assemblies have an in port for the return line.

Yes.  It works fine.

Has anyone tried teeing the fuel return line into the fuel feed line
before the filter?  Just wondering??
