Re: REVENGE 22 Hull Drains
Q18: what restrains the fuel tank from fore and aft movement if there is no foam surrounds at those ends of the fuel tank? Quite honestly, I believe the adhesion of the expanding foam on each side of the tank is sufficient to prevent the tank from moving. I had some experience using the expanding f...

Re: REVENGE 22 Hull Drains
VANCE-- before I poured the foam on each side of the plastic tank, I placed two 1-inch PVC pipes running the length of the tank on both the port and starboard side of the tank. These PVC pipes facilitate moving water from the bow gap in the tank cavity to the stern gap in the tank cavity. I then use...

Hi Vance--I added a drain from that section of the molding from which water can not leave into the tank cavity. I think it is coming in that way, given the age of the weather stripping around the cabin. If the deck is wet, it also can get in from openings that exist from the starboard rigging tunnel...

Re: Problem with Water in Fuel Tank Cavity
Removing the water in the fuel tank cavity is a big deal for us that have the belowdeck, polyethylene fuel tanks, as the water pressure on the bottom of the tank will cause the tank to deform, reducing the tank capacity dramatically (mine was reduced from 70 to 53 gallons). To fix this, I installed ...

Re: Outrage 77-gallon Fuel Tank Dimensions
I saw that tank when I was looking for options on my tank project. As the tank does not have fuel in it, you could cut the fill out, and replace with an aluminum plate with a fill welded onto it. Does your boat have the original plastic tank in it? You could refurbish it like I did mine.

As far as installing a pump in the tank cavity for removing water, the National Electric Code would require the pump and wiring to be explosion proof.

Phil is very correct. After a very extensive search of plastic tanks, I only found 1 or 2 that might fit. However none fit exactly, and you would need to modify or create a proper support system for them in the cavity.
