Does anyone here have,~~~ or have you ever seen, ~~~~a Donzi 18 or X-18 etc. with two fuel tanks as an original factory option?
Our old early 1970s X-18 with a Berkeley Jet/ Olds 455 had two front to back fuel tanks direct from the Miami Donzi factory.
It was the Philadelphia boat show boat bought right off the show floor .
Each tank had it's own deck fill & hull side vents .
The two fuel lines ran to a multi position valve just behind the rear seat.
You could run the boat off of either tank~~~or combine both tanks.
This seems to have been a popular set-up with the Jet-Drive X-18/ 18 .
There are at least two other known original Donzi X-18 Jets listed on threads on the forum here~~~
Each of those also have the twin fuel tank option !
My uncle used to call the jet-Donzi X-18 ~~~~~~~~~~
"The floating Gas Tank !
Were twin fuel tanks also an option on the I/O Donzi 18/ X-18 ?
I know there was also a single larger fuel tank option on the 16 & 18 .
