Finaly have the tank fisnished and ready to go back in to its old home aboard Roysjoy. It has been a pain in the backside and realy set us back 4 mth but something we could not do at a later date . So the paint was dry so was the weather and we loaded up the work boat with the tank + 140ltr to put aboard . The tank weighed about 90kg and not the easiest thing to get a grip on , so it was craned through the wheelhouse door with the aid of the main boom . This made it fairly straight forward to do with just a few scrapes of the paint . the hardest part was to get it in the aft cabin down the companionway steps over the bunk and under the wheelhouse deck . After a lot of shuffling nudging and jammed fingers it was almost in but due to the low location i was unable to get it to go up on to its bearer . This is when Jake had a great idea of using a line through the access hole i had cut and up to the sheet winch , This worked a treat and a couple of turns it was in Last job of the day was to fill the tank up and let it settle in for a day or 2 before glassing in the edges and supports .
Total of 320ltr in and we are still not full confirming the old fuel guage was not working .
