16 Gallon Marine Fuel Tank – Belly Shaped with Diurnal Components | FOLT1809BR-3

Description

The FOLT1809BR-3 16 gallon marine fuel tank is a low-profile belly-shaped fuel tank designed for shallow compartments and narrow installs, offering efficient space usage without compromising fuel capacity. This tank features diurnal components and meets both U.S. and international fuel compliance standards, making it suitable for modern gas-powered marine systems.

Key Features:

• Capacity: 16 gallons

• Dimensions: 64″ L x 16.75″ W x 4.5″ H (7.50″ overall height with fittings)

• Material: Seamless, roto-molded crosslink polyethylene (XLPE) with barrier layer

• Includes: Fuel sender and all fittings as shown in the diagram

• Compliance:

  • ABYC & NMMA certified

  • U.S. EPA 40 CFR 1060 compliant

  • ISO 10088 / Mil-STD Thermo-Shock

  • Built with diurnal emission components

• Notes: No clean-out port

The tank’s XLPE with built-in vapor barrier prevents fuel vapor permeation and resists UV, abrasion, and ethanol-related wear. Its diurnal system helps maintain pressure and emission control as fuel expands or contracts with temperature changes, keeping your system in line with modern regulations.

Ideal for slim compartments, deck lockers, or hull cavities, the belly-shaped design maximizes usable fuel space in tight builds or retrofits.

🛑 Important: This tank is made to order and non-returnable. Please double-check all measurements and fitting locations before ordering.

🧰 Installation Tip: Ensure proper ventilation and routing when installing diurnal venting systems. Use ABYC-approved hose and compatible fittings.
