Looks good Rick! Yeah those poly tanks expand 1-2% in all directions when they come in contact with gas, not sure how it reacts to diesel.

Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
Mfgr said 3% but didn't specify which fuel. There's plenty of room for expansion around the tank. The chocks are a bit tight but I can move them if needed. Thnx. for looking in.
Yours Aye! Rick

Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
Making up some fiberglass backing stock with vacuum resin infusion. Still waiting on a bunch of plumbing parts before I can finish up the fuel tanks and then move onto other stuff. Our normal supply chain for parts from the US ends in Ogdensburg NY. Unfortunately we can't cross the border for awhile so I've been trying to source parts etc. from Cdn suppliers. Not much luck with that. Amazon has been my backup but they don't have everything I need in marine stuff.

Great video. I liked that you added the other video of the air bubbles. I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
Thnx for the kind words Barry. The part turned out Ok. A couple minor dry spots but lots of usable material. Approx 3/16" thick. It was a fight to get the peel ply and flow media off of it. That infusion epoxy is HARD as nails.
I'll post a vid of unbagging it sometime soon. Thnx for looking in.
Yours Aye! Rick

Hosing up the stbd side fuel tank. A real mish-mash of fittings etc. I’ll likely pull it all apart & do it again ‘cause to be a proper job ya gotta do it at least twice.
