I am installing 2 x 18 gal plastic fuel tanks in the centre belly opening over the keel in my 1981 16,5' Wellcraft Air Slot, 2 x fillers and vents with a y valve.
Would it be necessary to vent the compartment as well?
I would like to lay the tanks on a closed cell foam mat (exercise type mat) to minimise vibration and contact with the fiberglass surround, and strapped down with SS clamps.
Suggestions and advise please.

Tx,
Joe.

follow manufactures directions, those tanks need some expansion room.
