Stainless Steal Gas Tank
I came upon a good condition 65 gallon SS gas tank. Just curious on the thoughts for using this in my V-20? Other than the weight verus aluminm any draw backs to going with SS? The size is 2'x1'x4'3".

check CG regs
You may want to check CG regs, or ABYC recommendations. My recollection is that stainless is not permitted in new boat construction or inspected vessels because it is subject to pinhole corrosion. It's a lot of work to R & R the tank. Why risk a problem shortly down the road?

Q. What are the limitations for the use of stainless steel in fuel tank applications? A. Stainless steel can be used for both gasoline and diesel fuel tanks. However, for gasoline tanks, the tank cannot be any larger than 20 gallons and it must be cylindrical with domed ends. There are no restrictions on size for diesel tanks. Sounds like that tank would be OK for a diesel application, not gas.
