Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement
Moeller has a few tanks with angled fill nozzles. Whether they have one to fit your boat, who knows? There are a couple vendors of tank fittings which may offer solutions: fillernecksupply.com and tanksinc.com Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement
Hello Mike, I replaced my tank with a Kracor 28 gallon, which fit in there nicely. Used the original rubber elbow to go into the fill, a little tight, but do-able. I was trying to find the model# but I can’t find it, can only find info on the Kracor Holding tank. Since Yamaha bought them, the seem to be more difficult to deal with. I would think Moeller would have something similar.

Stus-List Fuel Tank Replacement
John: Timely and relevant information from my perspective. My fuel tank is a 33 year old aluminum and it has a dedicated fuel return fitting. I looked at the Moeller plastic fuel tanks and decided against it, not for the fire safety reason (actually didn't know and/or think about it now that you bring it up). The fittings on the Moeller are all quite different from my existing tank. I called a 'machine shop' here and discussed the fuel tankthey will clean, inspect, pressure test, repair, etc. if a repair is needed and can be done. Failing that, they will make me a new tank to the identical dimensions and fittings of my existing tank for approx. $400. Whether it is the existing tank or new tank, they recommend putting a 'plastic or similar material' liner on the bottom of the tank where it sits on the wooden platform to protect the tank from corrosion. Either way, I like the idea that when I reinstall a fuel tank, it will fit, but more importantly, if it turns out to be a new tank, I will not have to adapt the fittings (horizontal infill, fuel line to engine, fuel return fitting, etc.) It may cost more than a new plastic tank, however, extra cost is worth the ease of installation for me. This list is great..really helpful when you don't know, and in this case, helpful to confirm your decision(s) were the right one(s) after the fact. Regards Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.

Re: Stus-List Fuel Tank Replacement
John, On the fuel return, Moeller does have a fuel level sending unit that is an option if you need a fuel return. It has a built in fuel return and is drop in replacement for standard fuel sending unit. I am not affiliated with Moeller.

Re: Stus-List Fuel Tank Replacement
John, Moeller tanks meet all USCG regs and ABYC, and more. Fire retardency is in the specs. Hose and hose clamps are also a place to be careful, as hose ratings vary widely and wrong hose can take you out of compliance quickly. I am not an expert, but having done some research before recently(in progress) replacing my metal tank with a Moeller and using only A1 rated hose for all lines including vent, I am comfortable that I am in full compliance and am safe Bill Walker CnC 36 Pentwater, Mi Sent from AOL Mobile Mail On Tuesday, September 19, 2017 John and Maryann Read via CnC-List wrote: Allrighty then – have an alternate perspective on plastic fuel tanks.

Re: Stus-List Fuel Tank Replacement
Thanks Joe. I thought of trimming tank upside down after I posted. Good suggestion. I am not sure about the ground going to the fuel gauge. I thought the purpose of this ground was static electricity dissipation from tank and metallic filler intake from the fuel nozzle and fueling. The sender will need to ground and could be tied together I guess with this...but I am unclear. Wanted to be sure that tank is properly grounded if needed..Plastic?

Two members took their tanks out for examination and found the leaks in the weld joint(s)took the tank(s) to a metal fabrication shop and had them repaired..actually had the weld joints reinforced and put the tanks back in. One member did it 10 years ago and the tank is still in his boat with no problems. I am leaning now in this direction.probably won't save me any money but that is not as important as getting a new tank installed with potentially new fittings, adapters, elbows, etc, etc. Getting a fuel tank in and out of the engine compartment is not like working on the 'work bench'.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement
Lots of folks have been talking about fuel tank fill and advising a 90 degree intake for simpler hose attachment. SLY has two fuel tanks, one plastic under the cockpit where the original aluminum one was with a straight vertical intake hose connection, plus another stainless tank forward under the settee on the starboard side where the settee forms an L next to the stove. This one has a 90 degree intake configuration. If I need to remove fuel from the after tank it is easy to temporarily remove the filler hose from the tank, lead a siphon hose down from the deck fitting into the tank and reconnect the filler hose. I'm unable to get the siphon hose past the flange on the plastic tank without temporarily removing the filler hose but that's not a big deal. If I need to remove fuel from the forward tank with the 90 degree intake it becomes much more difficult. The siphon hose does not want to go around the corner formed by the 90 degree intake. I'm able to force it around the corner but it always scrapes some the rubber from the siphon hose and deposits it into the tank. So far this has not caused a problem but it sure could if these scrapings were sucked up into the pickup tube. So, something else to think about. Regards, Dave.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement 35-1
I have replaced my fuel tank. It is pretty easy, it comes right out once you empty all the stuff out of the locker. WARNING: The original fuel tank in the MK I is ternplate and it WILL leak sooner or later. The original fill and vent hoses are NOT ethanol rated and will dissolve from the inside out, dropping rubber pieces into the tank. The 90 degree rubber elbow thing is NOT fuel rated and will come apart sooner or later. Mine spilt while fueling and dumped 5 gallons into the bilge. I got a new one fabricated from aluminum at my local welding shop. A C&C 35 MK I exploded and burned after refueling and I will bet anything it was the rubber elbow. I would have too if I hadn’t caught it with the blower. The supply hose is likewise not ethanol rated. If you still have copper line, that is no longer used, it eventually cracks. Really nothing but the filler should be original and I got a new cap for that because the old O-ring was not sealing. I think my tank now is this one – been awhile since I bought it. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/rds-manufacturing--below-deck-aluminum-fuel-tank-18ga--244485?recordNum=2 Joe Della Barba j...@dellabarba.com <mailto:j...@dellabarba.com> Coquina C&C 35 MK i From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Sunday, September 10, 2017 8:47 AM To: CnClist Cc: Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement 35-1
I have a Plastimo (black) but would rather have a Moeller (translucent) because you can see the fuel level. Not sure about your configuration but you should be able to find a close fit. http://moellermarine.com/product-category/fuel-containment/permanent-fuel-tanks/ Determine which model best fits then go online shopping using the model number.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement
Another disadvantage of going with a bladder is that you couldn't use a fuel gauge to tell fuel level. If you intend to do any kind of cruising, this would be a big disadvantage.

Stus-List Fuel tank replacement
Pegathy's PO or predecessor did a fuel tank replacement. They sawed a piece out of the starboard lazarette side to get it in and then did a good, but visible, patch job. It clearly was not easy. If I had to do it, I would indeed try to use a bladder inside the remains of the old tank. The old tank top would, I think, protect the bladder from possible abrasion by the steering cables. If it's the top of the old tank that's corroded, I'd have to think again. I might try to lay a sheet of aluminum over what's left and still use a bladder. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement
I was about to respond that the original tank on my 38 was of a size that it could be slid over to stbd (once the straps attaching it to a wood platform were removed) and rotated so it came out through the lid on the cockpit locker. Then I looks at Wally's photos. All I can say is #%$@& ! And good luck.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement
The quadrant is only an inch above the tank on a LF 38 and there is no way I'd ever consider a bladder tank in such a precarious position on my boat. A little bit of rubbing from the cable and you would have diesel fuel all over the place.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement
You might want to explore a bladder tank. I know we boaters have a serious mindset towards hard tanks but diesel bladder tanks are quite reliable and can be custom made. Can you cut the top off your existing tank, patch the holes with JB Weld or similar then drop in a custom bladder tank? The existing tank would then become a containment for the bladder. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement
Phil: I just did this replacement last winter in my LF38. I had my boat yard do it but I could have done it myself if I had enough time. The partial bulkhead just in front of the tank has to be completely removed--a Fein saw works great for this! Then you have to remove the water heater and part of the bulkhead behind the water heater--this creates the space to remove the old tank and put in a new one. The tank can be purchased from Florida Marine Tanks in Henderson NC and they can go by the numbers on the tank's nameplate. The original tank is only 0.090 inches thick--i upgraded to 1/4 inch for the replacement (about $500) because I never want to do it again. Of course, the bulkhead in front of the tank has to go back in--we made a new one from a thick fiberglass panel and glassed it in place. (I have pictures on my blog of the replacement process.) There is a lot more to this than meets the eye since there is a lot of wiring that has to be removed and reinstalled as well. I also ran into broken motor mounts and a loose prop strut that had to be fixed at the same time. If you have a reputable boat yard do this work, you are looking at $10k plus the cost of the tank. Hartge's Yacht Yard in Galesville did my replacement. You welcome to come and look at my installation sometime. I live in Annapolis but keep my boat is Galesville.
