[C320-list] Fuel Tank Replacement

[MICHAEL RAUH]

About five years ago I replaced my fuel tank (1997 hull # 408).  I priced the tank with CD and Ezell.  The CD tank is an Ezell tank they mark up the price.  So, buying straight from Ezell is cheaper.

The new tank fit in easily.  I also replaced the fuel hoses and hold down straps.
