86 V-20 cuddy

[garagenc]

What type of gas tank(s) does a 86 v-20 cuddy have. Side tanks or 60 gal floor tank. If it has side tank(s) what size are they?

my 1986 cuddy has got a 60 gal in the floor, and yours should too unless there were previous mods. done

86 should be a 60 gallon poly tank below the deck unless it has been changed out.

my tank is stock original aluminium....I thik they went to poly in 1988 or 1990 [?]

I looked at an 86 before that definately had a factory poly tank in it. Even had the warning label by the fuel filler saying not to use any fuel with ethanol in it.

My 86' has an aluminum tank also.60 gallon under the floor up front.

Welcraft mixed and matched a lot of things as they went along! Doesn't surprise me that they are poly & Aluminum.

[Blue_Runner]

Yeah, they are like me...they used whatever they needed to get rid of!

I have an 86 with a poly floor tank in a 192 American. I just got off the phone with Wellcraft customer service and was told that the ploy tanks are good with ethanol fuel. The problem is with the filler hose, vent hose and the gasket for the sender they must be changed unless the boat is mid 90 and up. I just replace the floor two years ago and didn't want to rip it up again to change the tank. Dennis

Thanks everyone for the info, I have to pull that inspection cover to fix some soft spots so I'll find out what I have.
