I all, back from first trip on my new boat. Went like clockwork and loved it, but highlighted my 2 x 25l fuel capacity in insufficient for my needs (my 15 mile each way to Ryde required a refill stop).
In the US there is a 12 US Gallon Moeller tank that appears to fit (although BWY state on web site it no longer fits) but I can't find a source in UK anyway.
If anyone has already solved this problem please let me know (yes I know We could have sailed more :)
cheers,
Matt
Hi Matthew , I sorted this out last winter. See the short article in the last magazine. I got the tanks from depot2u and they fit EXACTLY with no room to spare. I have just searched again and they still seen to come up.i echo the reviews that they are really robust product with working fuel gauge! I would however double check thr dimensions yourself.
I recently did a lot of miles on the Thames and used all of the 96l I could get in the 4 tanks plus my 10 spare Jerry can. There was hardly any petrol to be found on the river so I was SO pleased to have the extra fuel. In addition the 4 fuel lines fit snugly and will keep me going for years. Well worth it especially as my old tanks were rather tired.

Roly, you are a star!!! I will get on and order those tomorrow. That is a much better option than 2 x 12 gallon for both fuel management and logistics. 12 gall is f'in heavy....
I have somehow missed this iteration of news letter. I have also been thinking about how to deploy an auxiliary outboard on ladder but thinking is as far as I got.
Did you write up your water tank install.... I currently have a hose to nowhere from my tap..
