Thanks for taking us along to the fabricator. Quite interesting work done there. Looks like you're healthy again.

I'm sure you've got this covered, but in case you don't...steel diesel tanks need to be treated inside because diesel gets water in it - and that will rust it from the inside. Also, electrolysis. I've had the epoxy coating come off the inside of the tank due to a microcurrent in it from the fuel-level-sender. Alternative to the epoxy coating, you can put a yearly-service requirement of drain the tank and use rust converter on the inside (not a full list, just one of many solutions). Of course, the best solution is never let water get inside, but even the best marinas have trouble with that...

Re Steel tanks: Very nice work, but sooner or later you will need access to the inside of those tanks for claning out filth ; what about a manhole for inspection and claning? A 6 to 8 inch hole would be sufficient and nice to have if you experiene contaminated fuel.

I am guessing that these, as day tanks, will only ever see polished fuel so that should not be so much of an issue. I expect there will also be a system of valves etc to return any fuel back to the main tanks.

Looks like you're back up to full speed..👍 tanks look great. When you install those steel tanks think about a ground wire on them back to a common ground point in your engine room. Bond everything back to a common point. Electrolysis can play hell with your metal parts...even on a wood boat. Keep it up it's looking great!

This may seem daft but leave a small portion of the lower hull out just big enough to easily enter the hull. The hull is only half the work. You will spend 2 to 3 years fitting out. You will spend 1 hour a day climbing 15 foot over the bulwarks. When I built my 20 foot trailer sailor l left a walkthrough I the transom PeterI

Either I am not getting the notifications, or I just missed them due to the number of notifications I get. I got one today and saw I jave missed the last two videos before today's including this one first. Good to see some work done and the sling off. Also good to see some steel tanks. Nice inspection access ports to the water tanks. Will there be any inspection ports into the fuel tanks for clean-out? Deisel from around the world will collect debris eventually and the tanks will need cleaned out periodically. Just a thought. Keep on keeping on, brother.

Call this a silly question if you want, but it's real curiosity. Why the day tanks? When my parents built a 60 foot Bruce Roberts staysail schooner they just pumped the fuel directly from the tanks. The mains were 90-some gallons each, under the passageway soles each side of the engine room. The aux tanks were forward a bit, all coming to a pump/filter/conditioner junction under the main companionway. Since she was so big and heavy, we often motorsailed her, hence the nearly 300 gallons of fuel she carried. I've often heard about day tanks, just never understood why.

@@robinhodgkinson what's worse, is when they LOOK like they are symmetrical (and may have even been originally designed AS symmetrical, but because execution was faulty or time has had its way with it, it is not anymore) and then one can spend a lovely hour or two, 1) determining why it won't go back together until it dawns on them that it must 'clocked' a certain way, and then, 2) another 15 minutes or so trying each and every possible combination until things fall into place. all the while in the deep dark cramped confines of an engine compartment cum lazarette wearing a stupid looking flashlight strapped to one's head.

SAE 316L grade stainless steel, sometimes referred to as A4 stainless steel or marine grade stainless steel, is the second most common austenitic stainless steel after 304/A2 stainless steel. Its primary alloying constituents after iron, are chromium, nickel and molybdenum, with small quantities of silicon, phosphorus & sulfur also present. The addition of molybdenum provides greater corrosion resistance than 304, with respect to localized corrosive attack by chlorides and to general corrosion by reducing acids, such as sulfuric acid. 316L grade is the low carbon version of 316 stainless steel. When cold worked, 316 can produce high yield and tensile strengths similar to Duplex stainless grades.

Why wouldn't you have all the diesel tanks made of steel? I could be wrong but wouldn't having tanks made of wood that are attached to the hull be asking for trouble if the boat takes a solid hit especially in the wood tank area? I would think a steel tank would fare better in a collision and make it less likely to spring a leak? Just curious.

Those Wooden water tanks always make me feel weird . I feel like the epoxy is going to leak flavors into your water. If you haven't already i really think you should make a small little wooden box epoxied the same way and just leave it for a few days to a week with about a cup of water in it to just try the taste of the water after. I mean its better to try it before getting them in and then going to taste the water and having to remove them later .. somehow.

There are epoxy coatings specifically formulated for use in potable water tanks. They are used inside of municipal water towers. But not all epoxies are approved for potable water service.

My thoughts exactly! The through studs would be better welded to two half-circle plates (so they can be fitted/removed from outside), with gaskets. The cover holes should give enough clearance to allow for expansion/contraction, and the studs should be electrically isolated from the aluminium covers. Hold-down nuts should be domed against sealing washers. This arrangement has worked 100% reliably on my own sailing yacht, for 37 years (fuel and water), and, still counting.
