This is a custom gasoline fuel tank fabricated for a small bass fishing boat. The original plastic tank had failed, and an OEM tank was not available. I worked with the customer to produce a tank with the desired shape and fuel capacity.
Total time for design: 1 day
Total Time for Fabrication: 7 days, including time to procure parts and material.
Here is the initial sketch to layout a rough design and confirm outside dimensions of the tank with the customer.
Here is the refined design that shows all the fittings and the re-designed filler neck.
Here is a sketch of a proposed baffle design for the tank. The image shows a cutaway of the tank interior.
The following are photos showing the tank during fabrication. All TIG welded construction.
