A new skeleton has come out of his closet. My issue du jour: Evidently my old (galvinized)
fuel tanks on Diva are deemed DOA. So, in my silver-lining kind of way, I''d like to take advantage of this situation to create the best damn
fuel storage system possible.
My carpenter is extolling the virtues of wood-and-epoxy tanks. Frankly, I''d never heard of wooden tankage. Is this the best long-term solution? Is there anything to fear about rot, termites, etc. over time? Is
epoxy truly diesel-proof? Is this an acceptable type of tank in the eyes of the USCG? And lastly (and perhaps most importantly someday) is there any impact on what a prospective buyer might think about wooden tanks vs. more modern approaches (stainless, fiberglass, etc.)?
My water tanks (fiberglass) are okay, though if there are reasons to go to the wood/epoxy type for them too, now would be the time, with her salon floor ripped up.
Thanks for any input!
