I run 2 6 gal mollers, I was impressed on how thick the plastic is.

I was really surprised at the bad ratings I'm seeing on the Moller 9 and 12 gallon tanks. Everyone says they leak at the gauge and that the new EPA caps don't vent properly. Any thoughts?MH Hawker wrote:I run 2 6 gal mollers, I was impressed on how thick the plastic is.

I got the 18 gallon, we had to put spacers under it to raise it over the bottom fence rails as it was a 1/2 inch to small sitting on the floor

I have a huge rear platform so I think I'll just add a 12 on there and I like the idea of a water separator. Thanks for the idea.HandymanHerb wrote:I got the 18 gallon, we had to put spacers under it to raise it over the bottom fence rails as it was a 1/2 inch to small sitting on the floor

Check with what separator you get, mine can't be in direct sunlight for some reason, might vapor lock it, but the instuctions said not to be mounted in sunlightwijames wrote:I have a huge rear platform so I think I'll just add a 12 on there and I like the idea of a water separator.

It looks like the Ameri Kart 27 gallon tank the dealer installed in my boat is about to be replaced with a Moeller 40 gallon tank that'll fit in the space I have.
When you boat on Lake Powell, and it's 40 miles between gas stations, you need all the capacity you can get!
