Marine Aluminum Fuel Tank Design
Moeller can produce aluminum fuel tanks in a fraction of the time it takes to manufacture polyethylene tanks. custom aluminum tanks are typically less expensive than polyethylene and enable design flexibility over time.. I discovered a leak in my 250 gallon aluminum fuel tank on my 44 foot motor yacht and searched for a company to repair or replace my tank that was professional, efficient and fair. through a marine engineer, we located sp marine after a thorough search.. Properly installed, aluminum tanks will usually outlast the life of the boat. crevice corrosion. here's the answer that many of you asked for on how to install an aluminum fuel tank so that it doesn't corrode and leak again..
You comparing truck fuel tanks to marine fuel tanks is ignorant, apples to oranges. you can't even compare a 60 year old truck tank to a 20 year old truck tank, they are from different eras with different priorities, quality versus profit.work in a boatyard for two years and you'll see all kinds of problems with metal tanks.. Tanks are 100% pressure tested at 3 psi under 33 cfr 183.510(a), built in accordance with abyc & nmma regulations, and meet iso 10088 specifications.. Steel fuel tanks predate aluminum and owe their existence in recreational boats to their widespread successful use in commercial marine applications. steel's greatest strength is its low cost. it is one of the least expensive customizable fuel tank fabrication materials..
