ethanol and gas tanks

No, aluminum tanks corrode from salt water. Not effected by ethanol like fiberglass tanks.

You'll need to specify the model & year of V20 to get help finding a tank.
Generally, you can find a similar plastic tank or have an aluminum one made to match the old. For a 60 gal tank roughly $450 plastic, $550 aluminum.

Atlantic Coastal Welding, Bayville, NJ made mine (84 Cuddy).
You can probably find a local fabricator & save big$ on shipping.

It is a fiberglass tank that's why I was concerned. Not made for ethanol in 1989. Guess if I hit a big wave then smell gas I'll know what happened. Good to know I could find one one way or the other though thanks.

Are you sure it's fiberglass? WELLCRAFT never used fiberglass tanks to my knowledge. They used aluminum early on, and switched to poly tanks in the mid 80's. All of which are ethanol compatible.
