More space for fuel?
hi, my sr4 guzzles fuel compared to the ribs that i go out with but i only have one fuel tank at the back. the console on the rib takes up the majority of the boat so there isn't room for two at the back. I had thought about the jerry can type fuel tanks at the front but i measured the space and there isn't enough room between the console and the bow locker. any suggestion on where to put a tank 20l or more?
Cheers

Flexi fuel tanks.
We will be fitting a pair of seaflex tanks to a 5.4 Searider shortley.If you would like to see them that would be no problem. The tanks were supplied by seaflex on the Isle of Wight ( www.seaflex.co.uk) cant rember how much they cost but are verry expensive.We also had a black pair in a searider a number of years ago but i cant rember the make,but iwill try to find out.

Perry if you got one of these
http://www.marinescene.co.uk/product...-30l-fuel-tank
it would give you 33% more capacity… did you know that if you don’t run at WOT all the time the fuel will last longer…
