Trojan Boat Forum

two tanks, and the retro fitting of lines will cost me almost a grand. After almost wasting 600.00 on cleaning them and then doing it myself for free I'm thinking it may be a good calculated risk to try and coat the tanks. Who knows I may end up finding something a lot of people on the forum could u...

I had a problem with the reason they wouldnt clean them, I think they just didnt want to do it that day. It was about 100deg outside. There is a small patch of rust where the fuel comes in from the filler hose. So I know I have to do something with them eventually. It would cost me about $150.00 to ...

point well taken, I did want opinions and thanks for yours. For the remainder of the year I just wanted the boat to run without having to change the filter every 20min and I did that.

I guess the ethanol was somewhat of a blessing with the way it cleaned out the tanks, not that i want to pull them out again. Next year I will lo...

Thanks, I was under the impression that it was the ethanol that was breaking down the galvanization.

I was wondering if I should keep the tanks empty this winter so the Ethanol doesnt wear down the galvanization or should I fill them to keep condensation down.

I am new to the club, just boaght a 1978 F-30 single screw, yes single screw 454. I am in love with this boat especially for the steal of a price I got it for. The only problem I had was with the fuel tanks. 2-50gal galvanized. They both had much debris in them from years (32) of gas sludge build up...
