Re: Stus-List Fuel tank

Mark: Go to the Moeller web site. The 19 gallon tank I bought was 11.75(h) x 16(w) x 26(d). I believe mine was part No. 032519. The site will give you a drawing of the fitting locations. The tank fit through the hatch without problem. I could not have asked for anything easier. The hardest
