Interesting approach. Fwiw I like warthog's recommendations

For about $150, you can coal tar epoxy the tank and forget it. Air, salt, and aluminum is not a friendly combination regardless of your drain holes or not. (my 2 cents)
love those solar vents95 X 6.5 = 617lbs + the tank weight held by 4 screws while the boat bounces thru the waves.
When people do it my way....No water will get trapped or enter the coffin....I also tell them to take pix's of the steps for resale. It's Proof.
You will still have a stagnant collection of moisture in your coffin.....Lil solar fans have been used to circulate air. The piehole covers are popped out and coners with a fan installed while boat is at rest.
I have used the Rustoleum brandCan you recommend a brand of Coal Tar Epoxy and where to buy it? Maybe a link?
Which one were you considering?I cancelled my order for the Moeller plastic tank.

Of coarse he recommended to put it in without a coating, he wants to keep selling fuel tanks.
Yep on both.Did you drill a new drain hole (limber) at the bottom of the coffin? That will allow water under the tank from the bilge but otherwise any water that gets in cant get out. Make sure your new tank is well bonded to ground. Check that wire on both ends for corrosion. I cant stress this enough.
Im dropping my tank off at American Fuel Tanks today. Vince told me $1500
