Fuel Tank capacity in Ericson 27

[CajunSpike]

Just as fyi, since I posted here, I got the old tank out using information provided by Jeff Ashbury.
The dark shade on the right lower corner, is where the leak was.
Now to figure what to put in as a replacement, within the space I have to work with.

Just quick update: still haven't heard from Caswell. That kind of "quick response" makes me hesitant about their product,

What are the dimensions?

[CajunSpike]

By direct measurement, the tank is 24 long, 16 wide, 10 high.

Tank I'm replacing with is 24 long, 18.25 wide, 7.5 high.

Will be a plastic 12 gallon Moeller product.
Price was just over $200.

Found 3 holes in the starboard rear lower corner of the tank.
The holes were at the spot where the tank sat heavily on the wooden supports beneath it.

Just to close out my info in this thread....

Bottom corner of original tank. Was multiple holes and bad metal.


Replacement Moeller tank sitting in hand built wood cradle screwed down to original wood tank supports glassed into hull. All lines and fuel gauge hooked up.
