New Fuel Fills, Racor Filter, and tank Photos

[SV THIRD DAY]

The Next two photos are of my new Diesel deck fills.  When I replaced my rusted out original fuel tank, I put in two 23gals and decided to keep the two tanks seperate.  I have always Hated the location of the diesel fill...every tried filling the tank from a jerry can in rought seas?  So I moved them to the cockpit, as seen below.





Now....ignore the temporary electrical wires and unfinished Watermaker/Generator installation but this is my new Racor filter and manafold to select between the port and starboard fuel tank.




Here are a few photos of the new tanks (pay no attention to the lose piece of wook block in the photo or the loose stuff everywhere....everythings a work in progress while getting ready to go Cruising!)  You can see the seperate fuel fills for both tanks.





The pump you see is the raw water pump for my water maker...more on that later!  You can also see how the original fuel tank boards had to be trimmed to allow for installation of the new tanks.



The vent line for the two tanks was tied together.  Each tank has a seperate return and lift tube.



This is somewhat of a messy photo, but you guys know how it can start to look when you cut all the zip-ties and support starps lose!  You can see the original cut off fuel fill hose, the new (yet to be wrapped) exhaust pipe, and some other messy stuff, just begging to be organized!
