Hey Guys,
I'm rebuilding an old 4.5m Quintrex fishraider and I want to put an ally fuel tank - underfloor in front of the console.

My Question is;-

How are they normally fixed in? - Welded? - Bolted? - or just sat on rubber with timber blocks around them?

Any Tips?

Thanks,
Mark

You want it bolted in.
Don't let it sit on anything as it'll eventually wear a hole in it.
Just run an angle off the tank so that it sits on top of the floor supports, but make sure the angle is heavy enough and situated in the right spot on the tank so as it doesn't crack from pounding etc.

cheers,
Owen
