Preparation of New Fuel Tanks


Recommended Posts

I bought Spectra tanks about two years ago and put them directly into service. I didn't clean them and certainly didn't use any POR-15, Cleaner Degreaser, or Metal Prep. And I've had absolutely no problems.

I am with Gary and I know other have installed new tanks and never "sealed" before install and had no issues.

This is music to my ears.

That open hole can you take a picture of it but my guess it is the hole for the roll over valve.

The nice part about the aft tank is it is made in Canada. Didn't check where the mid tank is from.

The hole I was most concerned about was the one for the fuel pump/sender, which is the large one.

The bottom photo shows the fuel-fill hose connection and there is a "pipe" just inside. It is very difficult to feed the siphon hose into the tank and this is why. Still have gas to remove and siphon out.

That inner part is what hods the plastic vent hose.

There is one at the top inthe filler neck to hold the other end.

How much fuel is in the tank?

You have electric pumps in the tank?

Why not feed that into a container and just the relay out so the pump run to empty the tank?

Its so easy its hard :nabble_smiley_grin:
