And the current price is on sale and almost out of stock. Probably thanks to Mac owners

Hello,
Don't have a link, but I did see the LPT12 in person. I purchased 2 to replace my aging Tempo's.

Follwing your wise counsel (and because I think one of my existing, older, tanks had some sort of leak - can't SEE it but the ful keeps dropping for no apparent reason when in the slip) I am now the proud owner of 2 Neptune tanks. I love the way they "just fit" into the fuel locker.

With an fuel 18 gallon capacity, I am more prepared when the Coast Guard Reserve invades Canada/defends NW Indiana.

The only rain on my fuel tank parade is that there isn't any guage to show how full the tank is.

Anyone know of one for the 6-gallon Neptune tank?

many X owners, including me, use 4 of these in their existing, non-modified cockpit lockers.

this way, if needed, you'll get a full 24 gallons of fuel. and, when you need to "re-load", they can be easily removed from locker and transported to the local gas station to save $$$ vs purchasing expensive fuel at the marina.

also, if you only need 12 gallons for a short day trip, you can remove two tanks and use locker space for storage.

i have not seen a fuel gauge for this tank.
not sure how useful (and expensive) it would be for me as once the full tank is wedged into the cockpit space, it's difficult to maneuver.
that is, difficult to pull in and out of opening to check top of tank where proposed gauge would be.
i usually just shake it a bit to see how close to empty it is. however, not an exact science.

And the weigth in bottom is better for balancing the boat - and it is space for several heavy batteries too beside the tank or in the rear end of bed ....

I would NOT place a battery next to a fuel tank--scarry
