Hey Cat the idea behind the bowl on a automotive fuel tank is so the fuel pump sits in the bowl permantly so when your low on fuel and u go up or down a steep hill and what fuel u have left in the tank sloshes to the other end the bowl remains full untill u correct and level the car again its so the fuel pump always has fuel
Its like a fuel management system on a efi outboard on my merc it has a little container bolted on to the block which houses the fuel pumps and submerges them both in fuel my FMS is just like the bowl on your tank
Hey Cat this cruise tank cameup on my fb adds not ideal for u as its only 50 litres and too far away but its an example of a cheap quality fuel tank $80 cruise tank they are like several hundred bux, i would replace the one u have
so this is the big hole in the side all glassed both sides using that 1708 cloth think its called CSM/DBL bias , really impressed with this cloth heavy duty strong as
prepping cloth for the christmas break layers upon layers , this roll of 1708 is the best
been distracted with the old mans new buy , this little vintage husky, we reprayed the motor with dark grey metallic and fresh decals , new steering wheel and general allover tidy up. installed new trim motor and tightien up the relays and bobs your uncle , had this little beast for the maiden voyage in the river and she goes hammers and tongs
revisiting this tank idea , got it for sale but still thinking about it
deep vee vintage power boat measures 6mtr exactly with a 22 degree dead rise, never had a boat with as sharp as dead rise as this one , might be a bit rocky roller at rest
check this one for gazza , check out the amount of work ive got in this , holey mackeral im up for a sandblast, grind all welds , paint , new axles, this one gonna be a solid effort , previous owner put the C-Chanel under the SHS with weld plates and stitches , ill just clean it all up to make do for now
inserted a alloy pipe and backfilled with epoxy ,
im just going to cut this stinger casing halfway down , hog out the pulp , insert fresh material and recap off . i think the glass tabbing on the bottom should still be sound enough
Looking really good Cat, that is quiet a nice boat i like it it has that very heavy duty offshore look to it, cloth is wetting out really nice where'd u get the 1708 from?
Haha that trailer can hold a army tank
See the transom Cat its starting to get mould u might wanna get crackin on it or give it a sand than just a coat of resin to seal it so it cant go mouldy
That stringer u may find it will ve easier to just knock the whole stringer out and glass a fresh one in, a few of the guys on a fb group just hold the new stringer in position and fillet both sides than glass over
That 1708 cloth is what almost everyone in the USA use we havent caught onto it here yet aussies are generally 20 years behind the americans in everything
got it from trojan fibreglass think they call it another name its very stiff first out but wets out nice and just feels strong and is easy to apply
