Fuel tank replacement
 
I have a 1988 v20 steplift and repowered it with a Yamaha f150 2 years ago. Now I need to replace the fuel tank It has a factory Inca FO6008 plastic tank. Called them today but they won't sell to the public or to any marine dealer. Can anyone help me find a replacement tank?

Thanks

Aristocat

Thanks I have asked RDS for a quote. Speedy tanks .com as quoted an epoxy coated aluminum tank. My polyethelene tank was only strapped down and not foamed-in. Is it necessary to foam-n an al tank?

No...not necessary to foam a fuel tank in...as a matter of fact it's shown to be detrimental to the life of the tank, particularly if it's a foamed in aluminum tank...secure it good and be sure there are no contact points/areas where constant vibration will wear thu and be sure to ground it, not only to the electrical system, but also back to the fuel-filler cap...that way you no go POOF!!...

I was able to order that exact INCA tank from OCEANLINK in Portsmouth RI. INCA will only deal with a distributor. I think it was $400.
