Mike;

  

 I wouldn't use 2024 aluminum for a fuel tank. Use 5052  aluminum. 2024 corrodes real easy and with today's fuel you would be  looking at severe corrosion problems with 2024.

  

 5052 is a marine grade aluminum and is very resistant  to corrosion.

  

 Just my 2 cents worth.

 Also 2024 is not generally considered a weldable alloy.

Rick

 The tank I found was West Marine, Moeller bow  tank. Sender,fill 1 1/2",return and vent $209.

 To good to be true. You bet I just went out and  removed a side cover on the Xtra. It wont fit.

 O so close. Not baffled.

  

 Thanks for every ones input.

  

 to whomever was asking, I used a bag BRS much  shorter, left room in front of the 912 for the oil tank. You can make a lexan  cover to protect it and fasten it to your gap seal. (rivets and  velcro?)
