77 Gallon Fuel Tank for a classic Whaler

Postby BDBinWV » Mon Jun 26, 2017 10:50 am

For those of you that might be interested in replacing your 77 gallon fuel tank, I received a quote from Florida Marine Tanks, Inc. this past week (see below). My request was specifically for a replacement tank as found on a 1989 22' Revenge.

A tank with the provided specifications would be 77 gallons. The tank will be manufactured from .125 aluminum at a cost of $1001 each.

Anticorrosive Macropoxy coating is an additional $200 per tank.

• Tank is manufactured out of 5052-H32 Aluminum Alloy.
• Terms are payment in full to concern drawings and initiate manufacture.
• Lead-time: approximately 4-5 weeks after we receive full payment and drawing approval
• Tanks are quoted FOB Henderson, NC.
• Shipping is not included nor estimated by FMT. Tanks are shipped freight collect.
• This quote is based exclusively on the information contained on drawings. Revisions and/or variations from this information may invalidate this quote.
• Tanks are quoted with pickup (NPTF fitting welded), fill, vent, and electric sending unit.
• Please note additional clearance may be necessary for replacement tanks. This additional clearance is the responsibility the customer and should be provided to FMT at the time of approval of the drawing.

• We no longer stock or purchase Royce or Rochester Twin-Site senders (visual gauges).
• To ensure the structural integrity and safety of our product, F.M.T. requires mounting information (via drawing, video, and/or written explanation). F.M.T. engineering will assist in advising acceptable mounting modes should you require it.
• FMT recommends tank to have a fully supported bottom with ¼” neoprene rubber strips separating tank with support, and tank to be strapped or bracketed down.
