Fuel Tank

[saltlife728]

Just wondering if anyone would know the deminsions of the fuel tank on a 88 Welcraft V20. Looking into getting a new one for the boat.

Here is also a link to the best prices I have found on plastic and aluminum tanks hands down. I just had a new 72 gallon aluminum tank delivered to NC for $523

Here are the dimensions of a 1985. mine is a 1987 V20 and is the same. Not sure if they are similar to an 88'. Hope it helps you.

Just received my new Moeller 52 gallon tank today. Lost 8 gallons capacity, but it's a poly tank and it was only $450 inc. shipping from iBoats. I do have to replace the vent hose, and extend the fill hose, though.

Any recommendations on how to install it? I'm leaning towards rubber isolation pads beneath and glassed in on top and in back with some 1x4s. I may choosed glassed 1x4s underneath instead of isolation pads. I definitely won't be foaming it in.

Wrap it in Shrink Wrap or even Saran Wrap .....then foam it in place. The foam will expand, cling to the plastic wrap and form a cavity in the shape of the tank, but will not actually cling to the tank....so if you ever need to remove it all you'll have to do is cut the plastic wrap and lift it out. Simple really.
