With one fuel into four tanks you will need a breather tubes to allow the displaced air out. Hope this helps…

Ben, when that boat heals or fluel sloshes in waves that hose is going to get diesel in it and is i really safe to risk a diesel spill in the hull with that hose? (Coconut. great seeing you and MP in Annapolis. "The Big Guy" 🙂

Bad news putting any fittings in the bottom of the tank, except possibly a very secure drain. All normal lines: fill, vent engine suction, engine return, sludge suction and diesel heater(if fitted), should always go into the top of the tank, with vertical standpipes of correct length going down to just above the bottom of the tank. Using clear plastic hose for diesel is a no-no. Use correct fuel rated rubber hose.

Rest of the issues about amterials are mentioned by the others, I have only one extra recommendation. You have tonnes of room, why do you put all the shut off valves outbord of the tanks? Put them inboard, you have place, do not make your access more difficult if it is not necessary. You do not only install once of these things, you should think about maintenance, if you have a leak, and you have the tank installed, you won't have access to the pipes, and connections. Don't make your (future) life harder than it is necessary! 😉

Hi Guys, Diesel will dissolve any zinc coating inside fitting, same with diesel stored in galvo/zinced 205 lit. drum, causing blocked filters + damage to elements – injector pump and/or injectors on diesel engine. Filler hoses to tanks – must be vented with vent lines back to inside of filler nozzles – otherwise severe blowback with diesel everywhere. regards Robert Cuthbert

There are things you need to let professionals do. Diesel tanks and fueling system is one of them. Not much room to make mistakes unlike other aspects of the boat building.

Is the tape you are using rated for petroleum or is it just regular plumbing tape which will deteriorate.
