New Fuel tank - ‘91 30t

[ErikHunter30T]

Hey all
I’m interested in replacing the old 21 Gal diesel fuel tank in my ‘91 30t. The OEM is Moeller of Tennessee, but wondering if there are any better options that one of you might suggest.
Thanks

For what reason? Looking for something larger? Different material? Both?
Just curious. I have a '91 30T also. The capacity is more than enough for us. Seems in decent shape. I did add an H2Out tank vent dryer to help keep moisture out. It seems to work. I recharge the desiccant twice a year.

Hey Justin, fellow 30T sailor!
My original tank still works fine, but I want to be able to clean it, and was thinking of either installing in a new aluminum tank with inspection plates built in, or just installing an inspection plate in the original plastic tank. I decided to just install an inspection plate in the original tank, which will save $$ and i think be easier overall.

I just did that to my freshwater tank for cleaning. Be careful to clean out the debris from cutting .
