Internal Fuel Tank in Outhill Console

I have an Avon 560 Adventure with a cc12 double outhill console. I want to fit an internal fuel tank in the unit. I currently have two removable Yamaha portable tanks which take up a lot of space. Does anyone have knowledge of the setup that may be able to offer some advice.
Many thanks

Yes, I used to have a Avon 560 and had a 15 gallon fuel tank inside that console. With external filler. I have just orderred a new 620 and having a 25 Gallon Stainless Steel tank specially made to fit the same size console but it is the CC14 console. If you have any further questions Pacer Marine will be able to help, ask for Kevin - 01252 718500... good luck.

Thanks for the input from ribraf and Nauti Bouy . Does anyone have any issues with internal plastic tanks!
If not can anyone recommend one for the Adventure 560 with Outhill CC12 console.

If you still can't find what you need, try one of the RIB manufacturers. Humber definately use Outhill consoles as do some others, so see if they do console tanks for them.
