1972 Glastron V163

[joshrogel]

I have acquired a 1972 Glastron V163 with a 85hp Johnson outboard. The gas tank is bad and needs to be replaced. I'm looking for places to get one. I don't know what size the current tank is and what would fit.
I figured if anyone would know, it would the people here.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for this. What is the best way to find out which tank will fit?

I am also looking for a fuel gauge, what are the best options?

I took the dimensions and made a couple cardboard boxes for test fitting. Those tanks come with sending units and the gauges are pretty standard.

Im looking at this tank. By my measurements this should fit just fine. They guy who had the boat before, used portable tanks. The orignal tank is all nasty and rusty.
I would like to install a gauge as well, so you are saying these tanks come with sending unit, what else will i need to get a gauge to work. This boat doesn't have a gauge.

That will be a great sized tank for your boat/motor. You'll only need a gauge. Something like this http://www.iboats.com/Euro-Fuel-Lev...8387172--**********.425111193--view_id.133006 would work fine.

Thanks for your help. This is exactly what I am looking for. Awesome support....

I was thinking about adding a fuel filter, what do you think about this?
