> What about having a bladder fitted into the current tanks?

Mike,

I looked into this and determined it to not be feasible.

Must cut large access holes in the tanks to then cut out the baffles and 
grind dwn the sharp edges in the tank.

Then the purchase price of the bladders was too much factoring in the work 
and the fact that the bladders would have to be custom and they are usually 
flat and not tall as are our fuel tanks. This led to fill difficulty.

Anyway , I am not saying that it cannot be done. I just did not determine 
that it would work for me and I repaired the tanks in place--abt 9yrs ago or 
so.

As always, YMMV and this is only my experience.
Again, the articles are on my web site.
