1982 Montauk Fuel Tank Replacement

Member Posts: 116 Comments: 0 Joined: 07/17/07	Time has come for me to replace the old Tempo tanks I have beneath the RPS. I have a 12 and 6 gallon tank that sit on those rubber mats beneath the RPS. I know this issue has been discussed earlier on here, but I don't see any specific conclusion as to a 'best' answer. It appears Moeller makes 2 12 gallon tanks... one is too wide to fit 2 below the seats and the other too high to put below the RPS without raising it. The 9 gallon models look too long to fit a pair beneath the RPS. I've looked at the 15 and 26 gallon tanks... going to s single tank. But then I'm concerned about complications with the fuel line coming up through the factory opening under the RPS. I'd rather not drill a new hole. So... that's my quandry. I'd appreciate any input others can offer. Thanks in advance... Mike Edited by Joe Kriz on 08/08/10 - 12:04 PM

It fits perfectly under the RPS without having to rasie it, or drill a new hole to feed the fuel line in to the tunnel. Take a look here; http://www.moellermarine.com/aftermarket/fuel_storage_tanks/topside_tanks/. This tank runs around $200. Don Price

I have a 1987 newport 17" with, apparently, exactly the same rps than montauk 17", and it appear that the 24 gal moeller didn't fit under the seat. I live in france and have a lot of difficulty to get information and products for boston, any advices or information for me? Thks
