Fuel Tank Size

[Bunter]

I Have 5 Metre C/c With A 40 Hp Mariner And Only Have A 25 Litre Standard Tank But Would Like To Put An Under Floor Tank In . Can Anyone Tell Me How To Work Out How Many Litres It Will Hold When I Know How Big It Will Be'

Regards Bill

Measure the tank in centimetres, then multiply length x width x height to work out the volume of the tank in cubic centimetres.

1,000 cubic centimetres = 1 litre.

Bunter throw the dimensions up here when you have them.

I posted some pics of the 100liter underfloor tank in my old haines. Page 3 of this thread.


Might give you some ideas.

Thanks To All For The Info I Can Now Start To Work Positions For The New Tank.

Rumyi The Boat Has A Max Of 60hp & The 40 Pushes Her Along Just Fine

If Any One Can Tell Me What A Litre Of Fuel Weighs That Would Also Be A Great Help

It weighs about 0.790kg per L

Bill,
From the hp of your boat I assume it is a tinny (pressed), hence your tank will go across the boat. To maximise the tank capacity for the available space it will need to be a tank as shown. To work out the volume calculate as shown, dimensions in meters.
