Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Oliver installs a secondary diesel fuel tank in his boat, repurposing a former water tank for the task. He retrieves the tank from storage and prepares the installation site by running necessary wiring before access becomes restricted.▶ 1:51 During the process, he identifies a sizing error with the tank feed fitting, requiring a trip to a hardware store for a replacement.▶ 7:25 He secures the tank using custom-cut spacers made from a starboard-like material, which he shapes to match the hull's contour, and fastens them with a combination of lag bolts and through-bolts.▶ 8:14 To ensure safety, he grounds the new tank to the existing primary fuel tank.▶ 11:37 Throughout the project, he also addresses a maintenance issue with his van, discovering the engine oil was critically low after ignoring a fluctuating oil light for a week.▶ 3:07 The installation concludes with the tank mounted and plumbed with fill, vent, and return hoses.
