I'm thinking of getting a aluminum above deck fuel tank made. It would mount along the motor well/false transom. It's just an idea I have. I saw it once on another aluminum skiff.
My reasoning is since I run a 40l/12gal day-tank and cary extra fuel in a secondary 20l day tank....followed up with actual jerry cans.....well it makes getting on the ferry a pain.
They see (Transport Canada) the two day tanks as "jerry cans" and my actual spares ( real jerrys)are to be filled with water.
So, long story short, having a built in tank, would allow me to carry the spare fuel and not run into the Transport Canada issues.
I can't realistically get this under the deck. It will need to be above and fastened down.
Has anybody done this or had a tank made?
Cheers,
Trevor
