Hello. As I say I've got a 1996 215 DC Explorer. We've been fighting water in the fuel tank since we bought it a few years ago. The original fuel sender was heavily corroded and obviously letting water in (I wish I had seen that sooner). It is a poly tank, ~100 gallons. I replaced the sender with a new sender but the original metal 'sleeves' for the bolts were shot, so had to use self-tapping screws installed 15 degrees off the original. I knew this was only a temporary solution and sure enough, a year and a half later back to fuel issues.
So... I am strongly planning to get a 25 gal or so topside fuel tank so I can salvage the rest of the season and then replace the tank in the offseason. I'd like to procure a tank in the meantime if at all possible as I gather there is some lead time associated (maybe 8-12 weeks).
I believe it's either a 99 gal or 101 gal Moeller tank, but not sure. I am going to get the exact dimensions of the coffin later today, but does anyone know offhand the dimensions of the coffin? Particularly I am interested in depth. Any way to ID it without ripping the coffin cover off so I can order a tank?
Thanks
