In this episode, the fuel tank is put into our new boat. The process includes screwing the tank into the stringers, pouring foam and then laying fiberglass to obtain an airtight enclosure so that water will never touch the tank. The goal is for the tank to outlast the boat and never have to worry about it, even more than twenty years from now.

Foaming in a fuel tank was the OLD way it was done. Most of the industry has gone away from it. It is the easiest and fastest way to do it, but it holds moisture against the tank. THAT was found to be the cause of the pin holes that developed in metal tanks. NOW manufacturers are using Coose board to make feet to set the tank on and also to center it between stringers. That way air can circulate all around the tank and any condensation can evaporate. You have a nice boat there and I know you wanted to have the best stuff, but this missed the mark.
Men . I watch your videos when working . I'm from Puerto Rico and let me tell you this channel is one of my favorites . I follow deermeat for dinner the youngbloods and those big channels and yours is one of my favorites . Thanks for your beautiful work . Keep it simple . In a future video let us know what to do to be a captain . Thanks again my friend
I thought that foaming in a fuel tank is not done anymore due to the possibility of the foam retaining water, which against the tank over the years will cause leakage (assuming the tank is out of aluminum).
I thought the same. I saw a guy use neoprene mats that are used in restaurant kitchens.
Very nice to see the boat coming together.
I thought they would push foam rope down around the perimeter of the tank, and only foam the sides, leaving airspace under the bottom of the tank. But that is a 179 gallon tank, which is HEAVY! Probably best to have it sitting on a nice, supportive cushion of foam. That would certainly be much stronger. As long as it's nice, closed-cell foam, you won't have any issues.
Great video, love seeing a build come together!👍👍
Thank you for making these videos! Truly appreciate seeing this building process! Awesome boats!
Another great episode in the journey Captain Mike! Looking forward to the extended bracket and liner!!! Tight li...(clearing throat) lines!
Really interesting, I'm really enjoying this series!
Enjoying the process.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Sweet can’t wait to see the next video ty Captain Mike 🤙
I am enjoying how they are building your boat it looks good and a lot of little things have to be done to get it all right. Looking good Cpt. Mike.
I think I'm as excited about this build as you are. Can't wait to get this thing wet.
Nice video capt. thank you
Such a cool project!!
All the best with your new boat my friend 👍
Can’t wait to see the boat on the water🙏
Coming Along Nice
Whishing you the Best Capt.
Anxiety I bet 🎣🐟🏆
I worked with same A/B foam mix at Gem-Top Pickup truck canopies! A little goes a long way in liquid form instead of a defused gun! He could have done whole parameter of duel tank with what he use in first section. When you get that must waste material blowout it puts pressure on every part plus waste of material. Instead of pouring down wall between tank, might be better shooting it down space with Gun an wand with quick passes deeper.
I am a Tig welder. The most work I do on repairing marine gas tanks is because they were installed incorrectly or made cheap. Glad you brought attention to installing a tank correctly, it does make a huge difference. That two part 1:1 foam.. I always say Part A + Part B = Messy C. Good stuff though, but's definitely messy stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome episode Capt Mike, soon as I get this new Suzuki paid off, I'm gonna put a deposit down on one of these badboy,s...whisper grey with black accents...👍🏻
Well built boats‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
I grew up in Ft. Myers. My step-father built Catamarans there many years ago.
Looking at the transom that hull looks very similar to the old Formula 233. Awesome build
It is a F233 just stretched (seevee 25' )
What type of resin was used on the foam stringers? I thought only epoxy could be used but it looks like polyester.
Your videos have me realizing that I need a chain hoist.... I don't know what I'd use it for, but clearly I need one.
Thanks for sharing! How thick is the aluminum on the tank? .190 ? Also, is the tank powder coated?
I would love to be in your shoes building a new boat! I am in the process of restoring an old 24' Grady and was wondering ... I've read pros and cons about foaming in your tank. I imagine it's all about the type of foam.... you don't want foam that retains moisture. What foam are they using?
Probably way too late here but any type of foam is less preferable to leaving an air gap and have the tank sit on solid mounts of anything from a UMHW poly to the same materials used in his transom. Foam will trap whatever water manages to work its way in, which will almost always happen in a boat, a hard wave can create a micro gap in the foam and start the process even, but the air gap will let that all flow down to a bilge and not sit in place for the rest of that boats life.
Nice Video Mike!! Where can I get that kind of deck fill? 13:00
Nice
I dont see where there is a drain in the tank area. I see pipes from front all the way back. Needs a hole drilled in that back bulk head
Should of had them install dual pick up tubes Incase you ever decide to go with twins!
How many years can a normal fuel tank last?
On the fuel tank does it have the vapor recovery system with the charcoal container installed? I'm in California and all boats they make now here have them installed but the downside is you lose 10 percent of your fuel capacity. Something you need to take into account if your going long distance trips.
DUDE THIS ISNT MADE IN CALIFORNIA, ITS MADE IN HIALEAH.
@@user-zj2mb3sp3x Yeah I know but I don't know if this is a California law or Federal law that effects all of us. Like every car and truck has a vapor recovery system installed including HIALEAH that's why I asked Mike as he would find out.
Crowman you obviously haven’t been to Hialeah, people drive their cars with no tail lights no headlights, in various levels of disrepair with no mufflers ect... Hialeah really is a third world country only a handful of miles from Miami.
Crowman most big boat companies install that system or something similar for recovery of fumes and spillages from venting over board.
@@seangreene64 Yeah I know why they have it but the point I was trying to make is if you run offshore like I do and you have a 100 gallon fuel tank in your boat with the recovery system and you can only fill it with 90 gallons of fuel. If you were running a long way and base your milage on 100 gallons but only had 90 in the tank you may have to break out the paddles.
Where can I get a new tank put in my 21 ft saltwater edition bay boat.I am a charter Captain from Fernandina Beach Fl.I have a 17 gal temp tank now to get by.Thank u
What's the name.of this manufacturer?
É uma empresa portuguesa só podia ser e quando ele disse dá-me água comprovei bom trabalho pois sou aficionado por barcos e também os faco mas noutra escala
Is that fuel cell not polyethylene? If it is it should never rot. Also I'm surprised they dontvseal the in with poly sulfide, a sealant made specifically for polyethylene fuel cells. That stuff is incredible. I deal with poly sulfide in the aviation repair world and it is tough, survives saltwater environments, and lasts forever. Some of it I deal with was installed in the 60's and is still just as mean as it is new.
ITS A STEEL TANK BRO, AS WITNESSED BY THE STEEL ANGLE IRON WELDED ON THE TOP USED FOR MOUNTING BRACKETS AND LIFTING.
Those features could just as easily be part of the molding process. However I don't get why anyone would even consider using a steel fuel cell in a boat of any kind, especially one destined for a saltwater environment. There are no advantages that i can find with using steel. Steel is heavier, prone to corrosion, more difficult to form, going to produce the "hard points" he mentions in the video, heavier, etc. Ad infinitum.
Aaron Baker amen. At the minimum I’d build a TIG welded aluminum tank, but I’m leaning towards soft bladders that are made to fit the Fiberglass hull, and then you have no rigid tank just the hull itself. Huge weight savings. Mti outerlimits among many others do this.
My guess it's an aluminum tank coated with black tar epoxy.
TheNicko773 you don’t get “pin holes” (as mentioned in this video) from corossion with an aluminum tank, and you don’t coat aluminum with black tar. The welds are clearly MIG welds on steel. An aluminum tank would have been lifted in with ease compared to this.
I thought foam would hold moisture against the tank (not in the foam, but between foam and tank), which then creates the corrosion, being air tight.
Completely sealed compartment as it was glassed in.
Is the fuel tank steel or aluminum?
Aluminum
What ie the range fo such boat ?
170 gallons at about 2.5 to 3.0 mpg
@@ReelReports thanks
🤙🤙🤙🤙
It was all perfect until they opened up the foam. I don't care if it's closed cell 10lb foam, in that environment it will suck up water over time. If it don't, at least it will be like a cooler for the gas tank and not allow the tank to sweat and condensation to evaporate trapping it against the tank. In that situation I have even seen it pull the coal tar coating right off the tank. Of my fleet I have 2 identical boat built just a few (serial numbers) away from each other. One has a foam in tank and the other has a tank that was just blocked in with teak blocks. Take a guess which one looks like it just came from the factory and which one went to a recycling center....
fuel tank outlasting the hull, I dont think so
No respirator while mixing and pouring foam, that guy is killing himself
The pour foam isn't the only thing retarded in this thing.
Tho boats are trash I do the same thing and I build stamas boats
Man what a bummers! Horrible idea foaming in a metal tank! The foam WILL hold water. No matter what they say it’s been proven. That will be the demise of the tank and cause corrosion. Neoprene is the only thing that should be use to pad a tank unless the tank Is a POLY tank then you won’t have a problem with pinholes. Glassing in a subfloor for the metal tank to sit on with neoprene surrounding it is the way to go. Also why didn’t they foam under the tank???!! Tank should have been lifted up, foam poured underneath then tank weighted so it won’t rise. You are going to have air pockets under the tank which is where it should have the most support.
