Michel,
The tanks are high strength blow molded construction using molecular weight
(whatever that means) polyethylene, colour is
red.
Size is 25 liter, measuring 48 x 32 x 28 cm.
According to my notes it is on website www.mercurypartsexpress.com . It is
made in Canada, but I bought my first one in the UK, where it is half the p
rice of the Canadian price. They (Mercury Marine) have a dealer locator lin
k. I think I paid
30 pounds including tax, in Canada it is 100 dollars. The fuel connector is
part number 22-816856T3. You also need their
fuel hose with the quickfit connections.

Hi Karl,
What exact heavy duty marine tank model do you speak, plastic or metallic?
How many liters? Do you have web site adress for this tank?
Thanks
Michel

E: Europa-List: auxillary fuel tank Kevin, I have been using a portable 25
liter heavy duty marine tank, firmly strapped into the passenger seat (I ad
ded an eyebolt at the bottom front wall of the seat for an extra strap), wi
th quickfit connectors, and easily plumbed in to the main tank inlet (alumi
num elbow). An automotive fuel pump is also plumbed into the fuel line. Of
course, one or more tanks could also go into the baggage area, so long as t
hey are secure. If of real interest, I can look up the details. Thomas Sche
rer probably used something similar on his flight across the Pacific, also
Eric Trombley has a marine tankI think David Joyce is preparing for his fli
ght to Australia. Karl<html><div></div>> Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2008 20:07
