I'd second that-the tank is easily removable for cleaning, and it's a
gravity feed. Mine is tinned inside, I'd hope they all were to prevent
diesel problems.

I replaced the original plastic tank in the bilge with a new 13
gallon roto-molded polyethylene tank from Moeller. Vast
improvement and easy installation in the port side cockpit locker
using the existing filler and vent.
