Looking for a replacement gas tank. Anyone have a suggestion which one fits on the port side storage area? 1981 C25.

Thanks

We bought a "standard" 6 gallon Tempco unit. Fit fine. I measured the compartment first, checked the tank in the store. Tight fit fore and aft, which is good. Ended up installing heavy duty bungie cord tiedowns to keep it from shifting around sideways. 1981 Hull #2459

I fit the Tempo 9 (8.5 gallon) in my port fuel locker. No gap front to back, enough room on one side to fit two twelve ounce bottles of oil, and just enough room on top to stow the fuel line.

Don't we have a different fuel locker than the 81 and back boats? I have never poked around one of them but aren't they in the sail locker? I was just thinking that we probably have a different set of measurements.

The portside locker on our 1981 was the full opening type, no need to get "inside." That's what I thought the original ? was about when he said 1981 port side storage area - I thought "outside."

Bill:

I believe Catalina changed to the separate gas locker sometime mid-1980...so I assume that's what you have.

The Perko 9Gas model is the largest that will fit into that locker; but despite the model name, the specs are 7.5 gal. Boaters World had the best price on them around here ([url="http://www.boatersworld.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&productId=357344&topCategory=249085&cat1=300838&cat2=343370#description"]Perko 9Gas[/url]).

I have a Tempo unit in "Wood Duck" (also 1981). It takes about 6.5 gallons. I carry a broad-based five gallon can in the stern of the cockpit so that I am actually carrying up to twelve gallons of gas. I always do transfers of gas away from the boat, however, for obvious safety reasons.
