Aluminum Fuel Tank

<< < (2/3) > >>

My Cyn:
Hi Guys,

Here is the contact information for the company that fabricated the fuel tanks:

Daniela Fiori Jones
Florida Marine Tanks, Inc
120 Peter Gill Rd
Henderson, NC 27536
305-620-9030 x330
252-438-5062 (fax)
dfiori@fmtanks.com

Daniela was nice enough to provide me with a copy of the fabrication print PS-22. She asked me not to post the drawing on-line, so you will have to contact here directly. She may be able to shed some light.

Regards,

Bill

Well, FWIW I am pretty sure Selene' fuel tank is not Aluminium (1980).  There is no corrosion visible, so it is difficult to be sure; but it is still somewhat shiny (you know how dull Al gets), and not as thick as I would expect Al to be.  So I am thinking Monel, or perhaps stainless. I am tending more to Monel as it does not have a consistent color like stainless steel; it looks slightly patchy, like a little bit like galvanised.

Rusty Pelican:
Sounds like Monel.
Take a pic and post

If it looks like this, it's Monel.

Ha!  They all look silver to me - well, I finally got a bad pic of mine..may help aspiring metallurgists, or may not.

Ed, yours looks like it is rounded?  Mine is squared on all sides.
