HI Don

 

We replaced our tank with military grade aluminum custom made by Luther Welding 
in Bristol RI. http://www.lutherswelding.com/    Old one was original to boat, 
was not leaking but did it due to its age (32 years) so it was only a matter of 
time.  Old tank came out of lazarette – very tight fit and required some 
persuasion of the fill neck.  I also could have removed the teak trim from the 
lazarette and hollowed out a small portion of the glass to fit the fill fitting 
if I was considering reusing it after inspection but I wasn’t so did not.   
Also had to reposition Sendur tank and exhaust elbow and throttle cable. Also 
replaced fill hose (very expensive).  New one fit right in as fill fitting is 
screwed in, not welded so total height was less.  Considered using a plastic 
tank but was strongly advised against due to fire hazard.  Very time consuming 
project and tight fit all around.
