Im going to build a new center console because the exising one is swiss cheesed from past installations and rot. The 12 gallon gas tank is in the console and i'd like to stick with the placement but not the size. 12 gallons is not enough for me. I looked at the Moeller website and saw the perfect dimension 19 gallon tank except that it is considered a below deck tank. All of the above deck tanks are not of my preferred dimensions. Is there a reason for me to not use this tank above deck? The only difference I can imagine is the color, (presumably for sunlight and not an issue inside of a console), and maybe I need to build in the vent tubes and possibly a fill neck which would make filling easier anyway. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
