18 Fuel Tank Replacement

follybob · #1 03-09-2013, 07:59 AM

I think I have a leaking fuel tank on my 18. Anyone know a particular brand, style, size that is an easy fit? I'm gonna tear into it soon.

Thanks,
Rob

have had the boat going on 34 years (36 years old). Went through theoriginal, then had custom aluminum built which lasted 5 years. A friend same boat and same issues. He went to a plastic tank by Moeller and I did the same. Seems like they have held up weel. Previous was 32 gal, these are 40 gal.

Item#FT4032 40 gal.
3 weeks ship
Andy w/ Core Marine 417-272-1705
$410 plus 60 shipping

Might want to shop around.

Good luck

I can second (third?) the moeller plastic tank for the SF 18. Just put one in mine this winter.
And that price above with shipping is spot on.
