Need to replace both diesel fuel tanks on my Marine Trader 44. Willing to sacrifice tankage for easer and cheaper. A plastic marine fuel tank in the 55 gallon range costs over $10/gallon. A clean used plastic 55 drum costs $10. I could comfortably finagle 2 drums horizontally outboard each of my engines. Either way I will need to buy/build some sort of frame, plus necessary hoses. So for the cost of $40 plus some additional fittings I would have 220 gallons. As opposed to over $2200 for the offical plastic tanks.
Tell me why this wouldn't work?
Just asking a question don't crucify me!
