I have s/n 106 and will take pictures of my fuel tank and measurments for
you. My email is alden642 at comcast.net.
I do have a question for the list. Has anybody had a separation issue of the
Lasseret at the top of the engine compartment? Mine seems to be delaminating
and pulling apart downward.

I am planning to replace my non original 18 gallon fuel tank with the tank
that Catalina designed for our boat. I have attached a file with the
dimensions in past posts to the listserve. The dimensions are 35 5/8" x 18"
x about 15" at the deepest. I had understood that the capacity was 35
gallons, but my rough calculations indicate a capacity of about 42 gallons.
The Catalina installation drawing shows the tank being located with the
inboard side inline with the vertical wall of the quarterberth. I don't see
how it will fit into under the quarterberth in this spot with the engine
cooling water intake where it is located. The tank would fit if it were
moved outboard and moved forward in the boat some.
Would someone look at their fuel tank and measure the size of their tank
(looking down) and note where it is located relative to the inboard wall of
the quarterberth and the vertical wall at the forward end of the
quarterberth?

Phil,
On Hull # 365, built in 1990 and commissioned in 1991 my tank is
snug against the forward wall of the quarterberth. It is rather close to
the inboard wall as well and there is really nothing else under that
quarterberth. I do not trust our fuel guage and since we race all the
time we put fuel in 2 gallons at a time so I have no clue as to our tank
capacity. Joe Launie, Macavity

Joe,
Thanks for the reply.
My quarterberth is chamfered (dog-eared liked like a page in a book) on the
inboard forward corner. This makes it impossible to place the tank in both
the most forward and most inboard location. To get the tank all the way
forward, you have to move the tank outboard about 6 inches. To get the tank
all the way inboard, you have to move it aft about 6 inches. If I moved the
35" tank as far inboard as I could, it would hang over the raw water intake
valve.
Do you have the chamfer in forward inboard corner of your quarterberth?
Catalina made some nice refinements to their boats between 1980 and 1990.

Hi Phil,
I believe my tank is "stamped" 34 gals. I have never done a one time fill
to verify this. As installed the tank does not lie up against the fwd
quarter berth bulkhead. In fact the space between the bulkhead and the tank
I installed the engine start battery. If you can wait a week I'll take some
measurements for you.
Cheers, Steve
