fuel tank
Ive been wanting to put a bigger tank on my pontoon for yrs, right now i have two 12 gal plastic tanks with 3/8 pickups and one has a elect gauge hookup, both 4 sale, i found a moeller 032640 40 gal that will fit where i want to place it but its also plastic but i can mount it with the strap kit they sale, is it ok to mount a tank like this with the vent to outside if i enclose the area but not water tight encloser and no elec blower fan system?

Re: fuel tank
Moeller makes tie down kits and vents and hardware to mount their tanks. The tank you are considering is tan in color, and it's meant to be permanently installed. No fans or ventilation is required.

Re: fuel tank
I put the 20 gallon in and you don't need vents as the compartment is not sealed , fence jacks let in air low and the sundeck vents the top

Re: fuel tank
thanks guys, moeller offers a nice hold down kit for it too, those two 12 gal tanks hanging out back just not big enough to feed this big barge pulling toys all day.
