what have you guys paid for replacement tanks?

[smokeonthewater]

quite often the tank is destroyed in the process of removal.... I maintain that even on a tight budget, if you are going to go to the effort of removing, replace it...
ALSO filling with water is NOT a good test as gasoline being thinner will leak out of a tiny pinhole that water even under pressure will not
Found that out first hand

Thats good to know. Ill just try to clean it in the boat and see what happens. Worst case ill run off the little tank. I dont wanna open a $400+ can of worms. Damn boats.

I had to look back . . .

I paid $488 for tank and sending unit built for me by Triple M in West Kennebunk, Maine. Of course, that was 10 years ago.

550 at atlantic coastal? isnt that place at the intersection with the quickcheck? my buddy had something small welded there and they charged him an arm and a leg. if i do replace it, id probably go composite. i saw westmarine has a todd 55g tank for 361. plus id get it cheaper through work.

Thats a good deal if the dimensions fit.
