how NOT to install a fuel tank
take a look at these pictures - this is a potter built 23,in my shop for some work...the deck hatches are rotted,deck's rotted - and a few other things are goin' on too...
this tank has been replaced previous - sprayed in a zinc chromate primer - note the areas of corrosion - these are in the bottom portion of the tank - almost through the tank.this tank was gonna develop a leak in a short amount of time.also note the vent hose - pieced - it was leaking - note the clamps used...note the fuel level sending unit - notice the screws are different ? that was also leaking...note the fact,no dedicated ground to the tank,as well as a lead for the static ground for the deck fill - that was lying on the tank - never connected...note the screws pulling out and missing - wanna guess where the missing screws were ? this tank was just sitting on fiberglass - absolutley no abrasion protection... anybody see anything else wrong ?
