 Re: built in gas tanks
They are horrible with condensation, allways fighting water in the fuel. I will never have another.

 Re: built in gas tanks
Good fuel/water separator and Lucas ethanol stabilizer is the ticket. I got a 18 gallon built-in tank in my boat, and built-in tanks in the big aluminum boat. U only have issues if u don't use it enough. Red 6-gallon tanks look cheap n a $10000+ rig.

 Re: built in gas tanks
Have a 18 gallon tank in mine. I use it to much for it to get water in it. will probably put some stabilizer in in the off season, being I dont fish as much.

 Re: built in gas tanks
Plus I don't wanna have to carry extra gas cans everywhere I go because I only have a small plastic tank.

6 gal tanks are good if you are going to the camp for a long period of time. I can bring 1 or 2 extra and leave them at the camp until I need another. No need to carry all that extra weight running back and forth hunting.

Plastic cans are a PITA! Put u an aluminun tank with a racor filter,just make it removeable. Uncle J built me one for my boat and it works great.They all get water in em.

If you keep tank full or run startron or stabill in tank you will not have any issues. That f*cked gas our government makes us sell collects water molecules.
