Well, first attempt at a test run got postponed this weekend. I thought I was 99% done and ready to make a quick run up and down the river to see if I can drive / turn this thing and shake out any bugs and discovered a bug before we even got it on the trailer. Filling it with gas and wondering how much gas it would hold (like some others I see) and find gas leaking out of the (in deck) right hand tank. New project! tear into the right deck and fix this gas issue! Can you believe - wooden tanks! - coated with some sort of goo that evidently holds up OK to gas but possibly not water. Tore that all out, - now I'm thinking PVC pipe tank to go back in it's place. The computer says 4" diameter 24" long equals 1.6 gallons. I'm thinking 2 of em just a little longer plus I'll still be packing 3 gallons on the other side.

--- I'm thinking 5.5 to 6 gallons. But what do I know I'm yet to even get this thing to the beach, let alone get off the beach in it. (or run 28 miles)

When I asked that ? for running CSR in the TOP O I was told that 6 gallons would be plenty & we are doing 40 something miles per day .

So after last week's gas "incident" I'm going to build a PVC pipe tank. Has anyone done this? Should I use PVC cement or west system to attach / seal the tank? I have all the parts but as I read on the PVC cement it seems it's petroleum based, is the gas going to re-activate / re-goo the cement?
