Thanks Joe. I thought of trimming tank upside down after I posted. Good suggestion. I am not sure about the ground going to the fuel gauge. I thought the purpose of this ground was static electricity dissipation from tank and metallic filler intake from the fuel nozzle and fueling. The sender will need to ground and could be tied together I guess with this...but I am unclear. Wanted to be sure that tank is properly grounded if needed..Plastic? Instructions from Moeller don't say anything about this I can find. Thanks again. Bill Walker CnC 36

If the tank inlet itself needs trimming, I would do it upside down and then shop-vac the tank. The grounding connections will now go to the ground part of the fuel gauge connection.

Old tank out. New ordered and delivered by Amazon in 2 days..Moeller 19 gallon, 16 x 12 x 26. 90 degree hose and straight hose connector as I think Dennis mentioned. Two questions: First, if I leave at least 2 inches of the 1.5 inch fuel line inlet connector, can I trim its height if I need to? It is going to be really tight to get the 90 degree elbow on. need to keep the plastic "sawdust" out of tank somehow. Second, the old aluminum tank was bonded to the deck filler and the to the engine block. Since this is plastic tank should I skip tank and bond deck filler directly to engine? What about the sending unit.
