New Fuel Tanks

Lou Steplock, Pet Tug 37VT60

When we removed the tanks it took 2.5 guys (I was the 0.5) about 12 man hours to get them out. We removed the glassed-in supports for the mid shaft bearing, and after that, the last tank came out easily.  Then we trucked the tanks up to Bellingham to Coastline Equipment, who duplicated the four fuel and one holding tank.  The tanks were made of aluminum for fuel, stainless for the holding.  They were  prepped with S76 and painted with TuffStuff.   I'm planning on keeping all the fuel copper lines and fittings.  The holding tank lives under the forward part of the bunk and all the vent and waste hoses will be replaced.
