I found a new (to me) fuel tank fabricator here in Florida; Bartow, to be exact.
The name is Best Fabricators, http://www.bestfab.com/
They've been around since 1975 and are USCG certified.
Anyway, I asked for an early Donzi 22 tank per RDS drawing, w/some changes;
Raise the top 1" for additional capacity.
1/2" supply, and 3/8" return, just in case someone needs it.
2" fill instead of 1-1/2".
Two tabs welded to the tank ends, at the top, one on each end.
A gauge flange but w/o gauge.
Anyway, they also offer coal tar epoxy coating for $50.00 extra. This is the only tank company so far I've found that'll do this.
The price came in @ $595.00 plus the coating.
Turnaround is 3-4 weeks.
Also, it's pretty close, so I can get it myself.
I think I'm going to be a customer, unless someone knows something I don't.
