Here is the existing fuel tank in the jockey console of a Rib I recently acquired. Should I be looking at a new tank or does this look like it might have some life left? I haven't peeked inside yet. Hopefully its just some surface rust?
It's a rectangular tank ? Should be able to get a plastic replacement without busting the bank and it looks a pretty simple job to fit. On some boats (mine) half the boat has to get pulled apart to get at it.
Thanks guys. Yes its a simple rectangular tank that easily slides out of the console. A new plastic tank it is! I already had a fuel tank leak last year so I would rather not risk one again.
If you find a production plastic tank, let me know. I've been looking because I'd love to keep the transom clear. So far, I haven't found anything narrow enough to fit in the jockey seat on my SR5.4.
Close... My seat only is 41" x 10" narrowing to 9" at the bottom.
I got an Moeller 18 gallon that's going to have to suffice. Anyone have suggestions on where to mount the fuel filter/water separator? I'd love to be at to bond some Starboard with 5200 to the side of the tank and mount it there - the transom is already sort of full.
