Do a search online for it. There's some. From personal experience, they're EXPENSIVE.

I have a tel no somewhere Garret. I'll see if I can find it. Can't say it's the best and I'm sure there are others but this one is a bonifide boat tank builder.

i guess it really depends how much fuel a 150 is gonna eat

36 gal overkill or should i try the alcohol and beads to clean the tank out.

get a stainless steel one, as the aluminium ones just corrode away

Don't forget to check out Moeller tanks too. They make many more shapes than tempo. I have a Moeller permanent tank and am happy with it.<br /><br />How about this Moeller tank?<br /><br />18 GAL (FT1895) W/HOLD DOWNS<br /><br />L: 36.5, W: 18.25, H: 7.25<br /><br />Permanent fuel tank; fittings located on top at one end.<br /><br />$101.00<br /><br />This one is from shipstore.com

about how musch fuel is rcommended to go out on a bay for half day fishing with a 150 on a 19' i cant really guess as ive only run 40 hp engines and lower. this would help big time on the gas tank size i was thinking 30..

Re: best place to buy a custom gas tank?

Re: best place to buy a custom gas tank?

24 gallon as the main and then a 12? <br />I already have a 18 and a 12..<br />Like i said i dont plan on going far. The bay here has tons of gas stations they are just all a rip.
