In Response To: Maximum Fuel Tank Size *LINK* (Mike Dolan)

I would keep the fiber glass tank. For diesels I think that is enough. But you could put saddle tanks out board of the engins for about 20 gallons on each side. I had a 70 gallon tank just forward of the engine bulk head that gave out after 15 yrs. Even tho it was tar coated, it sprang a leak last winter in the boat yard. They last 12 some odd yrs.

That's my 2 cents worth.
