Walmart (Atwood) 12 Gallon tank

[jcasale]

Greetings

Have any X owners seen or incorporated the Walmart (Attwood) 12 gallon topside fuel tank? I saw one today and thought it might fit nicely in front of my steering bar (I have not modified back porch yet). I am not sure of the dimensions of that free space and my boat is on the mooring. Does anyone have that info available?

Thanks,
John

Here's a link to the tank (corrected)

That area measures 24" x 15".

I can't see the tank you're looking at, the link is closed at this time. On long trips, I have two 5 gallon portable tanks there for extra fuel.

K9kampers,

Thank you for the information, I have corrected the link. I am going to pick one of these up today and play with installation ideas.

The tank in question. Price is $50.

Please make sure it is strapped down well in this location. If it gets dislodged and lands on the steering gear, at >70# it will likely damage or hang up the helm at the very least. Fuel tank tie-down straps would be in order.

Product in Inches (L x W x H): 20.5 x 14.5 x 13.0

This one at Amazon looks more like it would fit, but I don't have the measurements of the compartment.
26 x 19 x 12 inches @ $70.64

if someone was kind enough to mail you one the shipping would only be $17.64 which would be £10.70 at the current exchange rate. bringing the tank to a total cost of £41.21 the mailing rate is for a 2 lbs box length no larger than 24" and the W+H combined cannot exceed 36" and I checked the dimensions and the tank does not exceed that.

not that you were going to buy one but just to let you know it might be a cheeper option .

you were right about being expensive I just checked out this place http://www.tcschandlery.co.uk/c/383/Fue ... ories.html
