Fuel Tank Dimensions
Time to install a new fuel tank. I haven't removed the old one but I wanted to order a new one. Can someone advise me of the dimensions? I have a 1971 233. I have an 80 gallon tank now but with the limited use of the boat I am having fuel issues even with regular additives. I am considering a 40 gallon tank as it would be easier to manage the fuel e.g. keeping it full, and running it through faster. 40 gallons would give me over a 100 mile range which is more than adequate for me. Also any tips on replacing the tanks? Thanks.

Thanks a lot that helps. Any additional pics would be appreciated. If that blue boat in the back is yours it looks just like mine. There are pics of mine one in the water with the Honda kicker and 2 on the trailer.
