Topic: Fuel Tank for Co26

Finally there is a plastic fuel tank on the market that is almost a drop in for a Contessa 26.  Vetus makes a 25L tank that fits with only a minor mod (adding a cleat to keep it in place as seen in the picture)  Product is Vetus FTANK25

Re: Fuel Tank for Co26

There is another version of this tank which is about half the capacity.  It fits exactly like this but tucks in under the lip of the seat so I kept more of the locker opening free.  My little Petter sips fuel and for my needs it is quite sufficient.

Nice install BTW!

Re: Fuel Tank for Co26

Is it a tank with a deck fill and vent?  This was the smallest I could find.  It's 25 litres

I used to just have a 3 gallon outboard tank in there...

Re: Fuel Tank for Co26

I have that same Vetus 25L tank.  I'd love to hear what those nice looking brass fittings are.
