Hey guys :)

Im about to install a new fuel tank to my boat.

What would you think is the best sollution?

Tank made from sheet metal and coated with epoxy ? (Thats what everyone recomended up to now)

Tank made from fiberglass ??

Or tank made from Plastic (ready made tanks for diesel)

All i need is a 60 - 70 ltr tank as before i had a 110 ltr tank fitted in my boat which was big for nothing.

if you have the space I would opt for a ready made plastic. I think it's safest at that size.
I'd rather be fishing.....

Plastic tanks are the safest ones.

Other, but more expensive, options are aluminium or stainless steel.  They are not without long-term problems however.

If you opt for a "plastic" tank, make sure that it is rated/certified/guaranteed for diesel storage.
