I picked up my new gas tank yesterday. A big thanks [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] to Rich who gave me info on these guys at Luther's Welding in Bristol RI http://www.lutherswelding.com/boat_gas_tanks.html and they did an awesome job on a new tank for my 20 SF Very high quality welding job. I brought them the factory tank (29 years old) and they made an exact duplicate of it. I highly recomend these guys for a tank job. Price was $450 plus tax it came with new sender and it was coated also. Now I just need some Florida weather to get it all put back together! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

What is the capacity of the tank? What was it coated with? Watched a program on Shipshape T.V., they coated a tank with coal? or cold tar epoxy. How long did it take them to build the tank?

It was only about two weeks from the time I dropped the old tank off which was the original 47 gal rectangualar(under deck) tank. Its coated with a clear sealer kind of soft not hard like an epoxy not exactly sure what its called. It should last as long if not longer than the original.

Probably coated with Por15. At least that's what Luther's told me to use.
