gas bag

[DAVE MARSON]

I have a CAL-CRAFT MONO with a Zenoah 260 it has a 16 oz. tank that only used 1/4 before running outa fuel....I want to replace with a bag....this is my 1st gasser and I want to do it right without guessing ...since I have to remove the engine to fix the tank might as well replace it with a bag....any suggestions would be great ...thanks

i run a 500 ml zipkit bag in all my gas boats, some use a gas bag holder, i just use rubber bands. make sure if the bag is laying flat against the fiberglass bottom that its smooth, a sharp edge may create a tear. these gas bags last about a year so buy extra and make sure when the fitting that goes into the bag you ca that joint, it will most likely leak if you dont

I hate gas bags tried it for a year wasn’t happy went back to tanks and haven’t looked back I don’t like handling them leaving gas in them more hassle then a good setup fuel tank.I store my boats in the basement so I will not leave fuel in them I hate pulling them out filling or storing them outside of boat just not for me.

one advantage is that you can pull every last drop out of a bag and if you flip the boat under water the bag doesnt get any water in the fuel, i would imagine there are some disadvantages

Found the key is to draw out all the air and allow the gas to wet the entire bag - this allows the bag to last much longer. I’ve had bags last a lot longer doing this. Any air trapped will harden the bag and developes leaks much more quickly
