    Fuel Tanks

    I've ordered two new tanks from Atlantic Coastal Welding(Speedy Tanks) in New Jersey. I'm picking the tanks up April's 7th and planning to swap out the tanks on April 12th. Planning to pull the engine and tanks out and go right back in with the new tanks and engine in a single day. Then spend a...

    Fuel Tanks

    I'm definitely gun shy after after what has happened to these tanks and don't want a repeat. I plan to have the aluminum tested to confirm the correct thickness and spec was used. I also plan to have the gasket material tested. I suspect they used rubber which contains carbon and is cathodic to...

    Fuel Tanks

    I received this from Brian Goodwin,Technical Director with ABYC Inspection openings are permitted in diesel tanks. From ABYC H-33 Diesel Fuel Systems 33.10.3 If inspection access opening(s) are installed, they shall have a minimum diameter of 4.75 in (120 mm) at suitable position(s) for...

    I hope y'all are correct. I'll check back with both fabricators tomorrow and make sure they know this are diesel tanks.

    Fuel Tanks

    Now for the next issue with building new tanks. I've received quotes from two well known aluminum marine tank fabricators and both said that inspection ports on the side of the tanks do not meet ABYC standards. Inspection ports on the top of the tanks won't work as the top of the tanks are...

    Fuel Tanks

    The tank was properly bonded. I think some compound in the gasket material or the glue that was use to glue the gasket to the inspection cover had a chemical reaction with the aluminum. I'm currently getting quotes to have two new tanks build. We're still planning the triangle loop from North...

    Fuel Tanks

    Another point of interest is I chose to pull fuel directly from the bottom of the tank rather than from the drop tube 1/4" off the bottom. My thought was any contaminants on the bottom of the fuel tank would be pulled out and caught by the off engine fuel filters. I have no idea how the crap...

    Fuel Tanks

    I have no idea what the sludge is. I assume it's water and dissolved gasket material. Guess I've been lucky for the past 35 years of boating to have never had a problem like this. Funny thing is, I removed the two 30 year old steel tanks that were not leaking just to avoid having a problem. I...

    Fuel Tanks

    That might be possible , but i'm done with these tanks. I had SP Tanks build a tank for a 49 Defever several years ago and they did a great job. I contacted them about building these tanks in 2019, but it was during height of the pandemic and they were not taking any orders. I contacted them...

    Fuel Tanks

    4 year old fuel tanks that were built by a so called professional tank builder.Here's what i found when i opened the inspection ports. t They used gasket material that was not compatible with diesel. You can see the gasket material in the bottom of the tank. It turned to mush. Now look at the...

    Redoing flybridge seating

    I'm wanting to change my back to back as as well. I thought surely after all the boat that were destroyed In Florida, I'd be able to locate a boat that had L shape flybridge seating, but so far had no luck. I've considered pontoon seating , but the backs have to be supported somehow. I can split...

    Cruising - NJ to LI Sound & ? - flotilla?

    We're actually planning on doing the triangle loop in 2023. We'll be leaving North Carolina the first part of May. It's possible we could do from New Jersey to New York with you , if the timing were to work out. We're traveling on a 41' single screw europa style trawler at 8 knots.
