Brian: I have a 1981 C&C 34. I replaced the original tank with a plastic tank by Moeller. The old tank came out the seat hatch although I did cut the fill pipe a bit. It was approximately 20 gallons. Measured the old one, went on the Moeller web site and found what was as close to an exact match as you could want. Took the model number and ordered through Amazon. The new tank fit perfectly including with the fill pipe and vent being in basically the same positions as the original. It was like Moeller copied a widely used tank. Good luck.
