This was a major job for us. Replacing an internal fuel tank is no easy nor a non-dangerous job. The directions are a bit lacking in hose size requirements which required a couple trips to the local ship's store to test for sizes. Had the directions showed hose size requirements, that would have been most helpful. After replacing all hoses and locking her down to the shelf we had built, things got easier. The fuel gauge wire diagram ignores electrical input which is needed for the blasted gauge to work. That required a call to an electrician to make sure we didn't electrify the fuel tank itself when we hooked the gauge up. Once he assured us we weren't building a bomb, we proceeded to conclusion. I have a couple of tips for those of you who get these tanks:*Take the tank to a marine store and test all hose outlets to make sure you get the right tube size. Estimate distances and get your hoses.
*Double clamp all hoses and use the special epoxy rated for fuel when attaching the hoses to the tanks openings.
*Be an electrician or higher one to make sure the fuel gauge will not electrify your gas tank. This was a dangerous oversight by the directions as they only provided rudimentary, not electrical power directions. There we no instructions on making the fuel gauge actually work.
*Make sure the vent hose is installed with as short a path as possible to the outside. That means no coils. The hose should lead straight out through the stern (or wherever your fume out is located.)
*Test with just a gallon or so of gas without the engine running. Use your nose to detect fuel vapors. Check all connections for leaks.
*Finally start the engine (after running the blower and checking for fumes) and rerun the checks above. If you've done it right, you wont see any seepage nor smell fumes. If you detect either, shut down the engine.
