Post Need someone to build me a fuel tank
Thinking about having a fuel tank built for my boat and wondering who y'all suggest. I had one built for my last boat, but i wasn't really pleased with the tank or the price.

Thanks!

Saw one for sale a while back. Might have been on here, but can't remember. Just curious, why not buy a plastic tank? Not a portable, but the permanant mounted tanks.

I have a 12 gal tank now. But with the rake of the boat, I can only put 9.5 gals in it. If I block it up where it sits flat, I can't get the gas pump hose into the tank without pulling the tank out from under the deck.

It's not that we won't build a tank. We will build anything. I just don't want you to have to sell your wife to afford it.

Give me a price. She's been picking up extra night shifts somewhere. She only works when I'm working nights, but whatever. She's bringing in some extra cash now.

Actually my builder offered to take care of this project for me. But I decided to use someone a little closer to home.

Aluminum tanks are labor intensive, like J said. If it will be a basic shape, having a piece of aluminum bent to the approximate size will save much labor. U just gotta get someone to to bend it. Not sure if J gotta press.

Just finished up the tank. I bought the materials, had it bent at a local fab shop and my buddy welded it up for me. Gotta take it out in the morning and drill out the mounting tabs then put it all back and bolt her down. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Got the tank finished up today. 15 gal tank. Fill thru the deck. Electronic sending unit. Illuminated fuel gauge. I'm pleased with the way it came out.
