I'm wanting to use a six gallon fuel tank on my 2002. I measured the Tempo metal tank at 18" x 11 1/2 ". Does anyone know if it will fit the fuel locker on the boat?

Also, I noticed an ad in "Sail" magazine from a company called Imtra that sells flexible fuel tanks. Anyone had any experience with these?

I've got a six gallon plastic tank on my '98, don't recall the manufacturer. But I wouldn't put a metal tank on my boat because they rust. There is a lot of salt water around here.
Never heard of a flexible fuel tank!

Yes, the six gallon gavanized Tempo tank fits well in the fuel locker. Finding a plastic six gallon has always been a struggle though there have been some successes. Some can be forced in but are difficult to get out.

I tried two different plastic tanks both of which fit a little too tight. The Tempo 6 gallon metal tank fits like it was made for the C250. Danny

I found this one on the net, but I don't think it will fit - it may be too wide.

This site had the Tempo metal tank for $86.00
