How to install a new fuel tank.

[patrolcarr]

I have recently purchased a new fuel tank because my old one was damaged. Its the exact same tank as the last one (Tempo 36 gallon polyurethane). Im assuming its going to be an "Out with the old in with the new" task. Since Ive never done this before, is there anything I should know before I start? I have a 1981 Grady deep V hull. To my untrained eye, the tank appears to be just laying there without anything holding it in place. Will I find something under the tank when I remove it that is used to hold the tank in place that I should replace as well?

patrolcar,<br /><br />Depends on where the tank is. If it's in the floor, they are usually foamed in and/or sitting on some type of cushioning blocks.<br /><br />Some may have brackets that attach to the side.
