Interesting fuel set up, dose your rib not have an internal tank?

And why dose it look like the tank connector sticks out of the console half way up?

Was the Sampson your own design or theirs?

The Rib has a 160ltr tank in the console but the extra tanks are for going on a long trip offshore to give another 100ltr capacity allowing a 250nm range.

The connector goes into the console so all the aux tanks still go through the fuel filter system.

I like the additional fuel tanks and the option of a plug in through the fuel filter.
Any chance of a close up picture of the front and the back of this item?

Many thanks

Have you stashed another 2 tanks somewhere ? from the pics it looks like you have 2 x 25l tanks strapped in. Nice thinking on the connectors - must mean a very clean & simple to change tanks on the move .

No, as the bolts wouldnt look very good going through the hull, but the locker is as strong as the hull.

I like the cradle very unobtrusive how big is the cannister?

What do you reckon the bollard pull of your Samson post is?

Jono,

What would it cost to get one of those custom sampson devices shipped to the US?

Thanks,

John

I like the look of the additional tanks but have you had the boat out with them stacked like that?
It looks like the bungees will give when the boat hits the 1st big wave and they will be dislodged and could come loose, this could compromise the intregrity of the fuel lines, (they may pull apart)?
Would they be better laid flat across the deck?

I am not an expert and I am not having a go it is just an observation, (I know what it is like to work really hard on a project only to have some gobshite try to pull it to pieces).

Regards
Lee
