Just a thought if you intend to head south. With Veg oil you will need to keep your fuel from going solid. A coil with hot water from the engine in the tanks.
Re the straps for the tanks, in the transport industry we use plastic angles, or even better, steel angles with rubber backing - which are actually designed for chains however they'd be the perfect solution for theses tanks I reckon. There are also larger plastic angles for things like pallets of wire or bottles for example. These are all designed to protect both the strap, the stock (tanks in your case) from vibration induced wear of both. This is because a failure of the straps due to chaffing causes the product to become unrestrained on a truck. A boat is not so different from a truck. The vibration is going to be similar.
Yeah we have been thinking about corner chaffing. Was going to use rubber but didn’t have any off cuts. I do have some white food grade 3mm rubber we need to make hatch covers from so might try and use that and see how it holds up
Watching those tanks being built was one of my favorite parts of the series so far. I built a 20 foot (6 meter) fishing boat with that construction method. A Tolman Standard Skiff.
SO EXCITED FOR YOU ALL. Those plywood tanks ended up looking very professionally fabricated and installed - rather than the kindling mess it started out as. Great job!
As you were explaining what pipe and fittings you were running I was nodding in agreement. 90 degree fittings, nod head. Pipe up the wall for bleed valves, nod head. When I realized what I was doing I started LMAO. My wife thought I was crazy.
When he was 16 my brother increased the size of his moped petrol tank. He had a leak on the seam at the front so decided to solder it. Thankfully the tank filler cap was off. A “POP” made the tank jump and it suddenly had more rounded shape. But he did manage to seal the leak.
Your opening comment in the video made me laugh out loud.. Loved it. Every time I see you lift the hatch in the floor and have to wedge in a strap around it, I want to make a suggestion to weld a couple of bolts flush into the hatch. Then you can just screw in some eye bolts for lifting. Drill an opening through the hatch. weld the bolt flush to the top of the hatch. Weld a cap over the bolt on the bottom side to keep it sealed.
Hi guys. Love your work and dedication. I was watching this episode and through that I should menschen that I do a lot of work with industrial diesel systems. Over the years we have found that the best thing for sealing diesel is loctie 515. We even use it to seal our threaded fittings. I hope this will help you in the future. Keep up the good work I know from experience how much work it is to build a boat.
What a brilliant Job done Danion wow looks so good. Hope you are well Jess? FAntastic that the engine is going in next cant wait to see it. Boy its come a long way in all these years . xxx
Nice work on those Tanks Dame! Please tell us that you will be keeping that Ol Faithful Kubota Mini Genset / APU to use as a separate Emergency Genset (Mounted somewhere high above the waterline hopefully) ? You'd be Mad if you got rid of it and did not re-purpose it as a Generator / Hydraulic APU "Of Last Resort", like what medium sized Motor Yachts (Especially "Super Yachts") have. It's the Kinda thing that could save your ass in the event of engine room flooding / fire that takes out everything else in there.
At the very least , double up on the hose clamps on the keel cooling purge lines . Also make sure the clamps are 100% S.S. , some have steel screws with an S.S. band .
Goodness sake ,how much pressure do you think is going to be on the fuel tank inspection hole lid ? Bit like people swinging on sump plugs, Why ? Keep at it , bit by bit, you'll get there.
hi great work may i surguest that you use some old/used/new canvas fire hose over those pretty new straps as the movement will chafe through and wear on the corners cheers
Tanks on the outside look clean now in place. Now on the other hand the inside will not be. Do you have a way to flush (excuse the pun) the sludge that builds up . As in Rv black water. They have a water whip to flush the sludge.
Using the in-line meter to mark up your sightglass is a good idea, BUT that flow meter would be calibrated for water not diesel. As there is a significant density and viscosity difference between the two, it is highly likley the new readings are not accurate. That could explain why your new mark is over 100L different from the old mark. I'd suggest passing a known quantity of diesel through the in-line meter to see what is reads and using that to work out the actual scale for diesel litres.
The discrepancy probably relates to the effect of viscosity on the meter, testing is a good idea just be aware that seals in the Flow meter that arent fuel compatible may swell and affect the reading accuracy. Regards Doug
@@dougkirby4709 Agreed, 1 litre = 1 litre, but the issue is we don't know how the in-line meter measures the flow rate and calculates the volume transferred. A number of methods such meters use ARE significantly impacted by density and/or viscosity.
@@dougkirby4709 Learning loads , thank you. Would agree a litre is a fixed size , (a cube 10cm by 10 cm by 10 cm) but don't agree that density is relevant to weight only . It's relevant to both , weight for a specific volume and defined by that (if you want to be exact mass for a fixed volume or mass per unit volume).
awesome progress .. too late for me to do the research, but would your flow rate thingy-machig be calibrated for water density? did you factor in the density of diesel when taking the measurements? good stuff .. g'night
Keel cooling is amazing for areas that have hot water temp and or a lot of weed. It can’t be blocked like raw water. We will be removing it prior to any ice work but only because it’s vulnerable to ice impact otherwise we would keep it. Rule of thumb if the commercial trawlers do it, it’s generally worth sticking to that. They all have keel cooling round here for a reason
Yes. It would hurt every time we kick it when the hatch is down. It’s not that hard to get it up as is and only gets opened once or twice every few years so not a priority to alter it
@@ProjectBrupeg I guess I was thinking threading the hatch and removing it when done, replacing it with a flush brass bung from the bottom. when screwed in would be flush on the top side.
Not only heated, but cleaned thoroughly. No point putting unused Veggie Oil in, as its dearer than Diesel. Can you imagine treating 2000+ litres of dirty old cooking oil ? Looking forward to seeing that.
@@dnomyarnostaw In Sweden, we have the world's most expensive diesel, which is why more and more people are starting to use vegetable oil from restaurants. The oil must be thoroughly cleaned, and then we have the problem of how this oil works at low temperatures, how it takes in moisture and so on. It's quite complicated. So I agree with you, this is going to be interesting.
Do you really think the sharks' fear of hairballs is going to stop them from taking a good bite of your head? Oh don't mind me. Go ahead and grow a massive hairdo. But wear a hairnet when cooking or refueling.🤣🤣🤣
My Kiwi to American decoders, on the sides of my head, aren't good enough to understand the name of the of the paint you're using in the engine room. Are you saying JODEMASTIC 605? Can't wait to see the Powertrain installed. It's all about the Cummins, Only Cummins, no detroit. Cheers.

Yay!! A brupeg video on a Thursday!! I don't know what happened but I approve!!👍👍
Those tanks look so fine installed. And thank you Birk for cleaning up the space where the water heater was. That's been really bugging me for months.
*** Just a correction, the proper term in Australia is "Tie me Kan of Poo Down Sport"
Love it!! That’s the funniest ad I’ve seen! I think curly hair suits Damien 😂😂😂

Except it’s an “engine”. Motors are electric.

Took a few episodes, but now the tanks are in and looking fantastic.
Next week(or 2) the engine will be going in. I’m excited.

Congratulations for doing your hair loss advert, and not wetting yourself laughing.
Many many takes
You guys are kicking some serious butt. That looks amazing !!! Keep up the hard work
Wonderful editing. Thank you for all your hard work 🎉
Tanks Guys! 😉
Finally, them tanks are in and don't they look great. Well done.
Never doubted for a minute how that was going to turn out , as we say here in Cornwall … proper job bey
SO EXCITED FOR YOU ALL. Those plywood tanks ended up looking very professionally fabricated and installed - rather than the kindling mess it started out as. Great job!
I love you guys so much! Thank you for the smiles.
Making excellent progress! Love to this project succeed! Confident it will.
It is looking fantastic. You do such great work and so much fun to watch. That advertisement was really funny as well.

You can drill a hole in that lid weld a nut on the back side and do a screw in I bolt for lifting it off
You must feel stoked. Proud of everyone of ya's well done great job.
Love the mid week update. What a treat!!!!
Much respect for the attention to detail avoiding explosions. 😆
😮 Good job guys.

Nice. A RUTEE I believe that’s called (Rapid unplanned tank expansion event).
AWESOME!! Well done, I love it when a (your) plan comes together…👍👍 Ric

Looking nice those tanks! 👌
Tanks look brilliant! Good job
All headway is Magically Fabulous and Terrifically Great Stuff getting done is another Superbly manly leaping forwardly kind of thingy!!!
The air vents should be stainless pipe and supported. There is no quick access for an upcoming bad day.
OMG! The motor is next!!! Sweet 🙂 Thanks 4 sharing.
Bonus! Looking good.
What a brilliant Job done Danion wow looks so good. Hope you are well Jess? FAntastic that the engine is going in next cant wait to see it. Boy its come a long way in all these years . xxx
congrats guys, the tanks look fantastic. Cant wait for your to get the motor in, So much closer now to splashing!
Congratulations guy's! Almost time to put the engine in! 👍

Pretty good innuendo introduction!.
Excellent job guys. The poo tanks look the dogs boxxxxs! Can't wait for the engine to go in now. That will be an epic miles stone for Brupeg.
Hehe I feel like those fuel tanks have been finished about 5 times 😅. Love your work guys, you are an inspiration
Very nice seeing those tanks in :)
Beautiful work in the engine room. Looks so neat.
Wow! Those tanks almost look professionally made!😁
Cant wait to see the engine take its place in the engine room.
At the very least , double up on the hose clamps on the keel cooling purge lines . Also make sure the clamps are 100% S.S. , some have steel screws with an S.S. band .
Awesome job guys, can't wait to see the engine go in. Love the videos.
Awesome episode ! You must be very excited . It'll be launch day soon .
Can't wait for that episode !!
Very nice mate. 👍
Awesome work guys those tanks worked really well and they look great in there 😎
My wife thought I should mention that our cat, Chevy, likes watching Dame's welding montages. Perhaps Unimig has a new market segment to explore?
Thanks for the update...Can't wait for the Engine Install...Good show Guys...
That motor looks like a monster! Cant wait to see how you get it into place, looks a lot bigger than the short block...:)
Awesome progress!
Cheers from Southern California USA
7:38 Is Ow metric or imperial
Looking really good, so so close to Motor going in.
Hope your ok Jess take care and best wishes
Gee you guys work hard :-) , keep going you can just about see the light at the end of the tunnel
Another great episode, things are looking excellent. Love your attention to detail. Great work!
Getting Excited!
Tanks look great! Worth putting some of that rubber strip under the metal part of the tie down rachet?
"Nothing's ever straight on a boat"
Not even Damien. That's why he likes Cummins 😉
looking good guys stay safe all
Best. Intro. EVER!
Excellent job on the tanks!!
Thanks for making me think Friday was Monday and I’d time travelled away the weekend haha great job with the tanks tho they look mint
Love it keep it up as always ❣️
well done they look amazing!
I am a moron when it comes to boating topics. But I love your project and your episodes. Hello, from Arcola, Texas, USA.
Great to have you with us Rusty
Looks great!
another episode towards the engine lands in it new home. 2x👍
“tie me kangaroo down sport” ... that’s funny 😂😂
Looks a nice job now the tanks are in.
very excited
Heart transplant next episode! How exiting!
Getting exciting now guys! Damo will be wanting to do burnouts in the yard next once he has an engine!! :)
Goodness sake ,how much pressure do you think is going to be on the fuel tank inspection hole lid ? Bit like people swinging on sump plugs, Why ? Keep at it , bit by bit, you'll get there.
hi great work may i surguest that you use some old/used/new canvas fire hose over those pretty new straps as the movement will chafe through and wear on the corners cheers
When is it going to actually get wet? Are you guys anywhere close to a launch date.
By the time you get the boat in the Water. With all the cutting and welding you will have a New Boat with and old Name. lol lol
Why no drop sheet while drilling making hot swarf landing on nice new paint?
metal hole saws work best at slow speed. keep up the good work
Tidy job dame
Just on your fuel tank sightglass.... May be worth checking that your not supposed to have auto resetting valves top and bottom.
We do need that. Springs will be fitted to these handles

Better if you put valves on the keel cooler vents
Your fuel level marks may change when the boat is sitting in the water
Hmm tried buying a unimig a while back, never even got a response from them. But looks like nice machines
They are awesome. We have used them for years. Really happy with them
awesome progress .. too late for me to do the research, but would your flow rate thingy-machig be calibrated for water density? did you factor in the density of diesel when taking the measurements? good stuff .. g'night
Why keel cooling? I see to many negatives with it hope you reconsider damo and do a alternative

Dame why no mag drill its my fav.
Doesn't vegatable oil become very viscous when it gets cold? Does it need to be heated?
Yep... I would have put in a hot water tube, fed from the engine and possibly an electric heater.
We will be doing that but will install later. We have a few ideas to heat the fuel and haven’t locked down which option we will go with just yet
@@ProjectBrupeg Tack för svaret! (Thanks for the reply!) A little Swedish for you!😀
