Replacement fuel tanks
Hello everyone,
I bought a project 36' Mirage Offshore and in the process of restoration I noticed corrosion on the tanks. I have pricing on replacement aluminum tanks but was curious if any alternative non-corrosive materials were suitable for this type of boat. Do they make any poly tanks large enough to fit this application? I currently have 2-128 gal & 1-142 gal tank in need of replacement. Thanks in advance for the replies!!!! |
wouldn't reccomend a poly tank,theres not enough baffles in them.

Thanks,
I'll stick with the aluminum, can't find any plastic tanks large enough. That must be the reason why - they don't or can't put baffles in them. |
could put fuel cell foam in them instead of baffles....but I would have alum or stainless tanks built...

Thanks again for your reply,
All of the corrosion was on the outside of the tank. So I've ordered aluminum tanks but I am researching other methods of holding them in place other than OEM - Foam. Pockets had formed between foam and aluminum that held moisture in place. The original foam was soaked with gasoline and water mixture. |
