Slimline Fuel Tank

benc · 19 February 2007, 22:34

Hi,

I am just in the process of finally sorting the seats out for my boat... going for a delta formation again, triple jockey at the front, with a double jockey slightly behind either side.. giving me seven seats + two bow seats in all.

I am looking to get a fuel tank to fit in the front jockey, but not having much luck on google... can anyone suggest where I may be able to buy some? or failing that, somewhere I can get one made at a reasonable cost?

The triple will be approx 300mm wide, and about 1100mm long. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Ben

Ben,

Looks like Tek Tanks may do what you want.

Take a look at these #TT-5644 could be made for the job as long as it's not too high.

Just up near Alton.

We currently have 6 stainless steel tanks with all the fittings that measure L1500mm by W250mm H400mm they are priced at £175 each if they are any good.

Tek Tanks can't do petrol, the regulations won't allow it.

My neighbour is a fabricator, he works from a large workshop in his garden. He has nade boat tanks for me before. Let me know the exact dimensions and requires spigots etc.and I will ask him for a rough quote if you like.

Thanks for the responses guys, im starting to think I will just go with an external tank lashed down in the back of the boat... I think its going to be too expensive for the gain I will get from fuel storage inside the jockey seat.

Thanks again!
