Does anyone know if it's possible to relocate the expansion tank on a FL 120?
*The person who can answer that is Bob Smith at American Diesel.* He did much of the orgiginal marinization work for Lehman way back when and he and his son Brian probably know more about the Lehman than any other folks around.

However, while anything is possible if you throw enough money at it, the expansion tank in its current position would be a challenge to move.* It is bolted to the thermostat housing underneath it, so moving the tank would require fabricating some sort of connection to the now-exposed and open thermostat housing.* I suspect making some sort of accomodation in the hatch for the tank would prove to be a far, far more practical solution than moving the tank.

But talk to the Smiths at American Diesel.* They can tell you exactly what's possible and what isn't on that engine.
