Increased range

[MarkLee]

I was looking to increase the range of our boat. I came across these fellows when I was googling.

Has anybody had any experience with their long range collapsible fuel tanks. They look like a good idea?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Regards

I have fited similar as a water tank. I have heard of them used as diesel tanks for long-range cruising, I'm not too sure I'd be happy with a soft petrol tank. Why not go for built-in tanks? Plenty of choices there - alloy, stainless or roto-moulded.

hi mark lee i agree with salar. i had the same problem but i fitted an extra moulded 130 litre tank gave us extra 6 hours

Thanks for the feedback guys. I was more interested in these tanks as I have some areas I could use for tanks that will not fit a standard tank. I thought the flexible ones might accomodate the odd shape better. Thanks anyway.

I Did just that. Here's the reply.

The best value for self contained tank is the STANDARD DECK TANK 150 lt 39 Us gal A$ 287-00 . The SUPER DECK TANK version a very tough tank with inner tank 940 dtex Pu is A$ 383-00.
The STANDARD YACHT TANK 100 litre 26 Us gal A$ 153-00 the 150 litre 39 Us gal A$ 192-00.

Air mail delivery takes about 5-7 days to U.K. Depends on what exactly will be sent but work on A$ 70-00 for one tank or A$ 110-00 for two tanks any of the above
