I am looking around at some fuel tank options. I asked the question a couple days ago somewhere else about changing out the stock fuel tank in certain model boats and the answer I got was essentially what they come with is all you can do. The reasoning was the baffles, separators, screens, etc affect the fuel system and it won't be easy to change the tank and dial everything back in. I don't know enough to know any different, so I'll go along with it until I find out otherwise.
So my question is about above-deck tanks. Instead of stocking up on 5 gallon jerry cans, how hard would it be to get a bigger tank and plumb it in to the main tank below deck with a port and valve in the line? It seems to me this would be a real easy set up - when the main tank gets low just open the valve and fill the main tank back up from the auxiliary tank. I see there are tanks of all sizes and shapes available.
