[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 496183, member: 3438"] It can not be fully enclosed or it would be an explosion hazard. The portable tanks vent to atmosphere, and the fumes would build up in your compartment. Before getting a bow troller in our StarCraft Mariner-V, I moved the portable 6 gal tank under the casting deck I built. It had natural ventilation though. It had an open space at the very front of the V and the back was fully open between casting and floor. The 40hp Nissan had no issues with getting gas. The fuel hose ran along the starboard edge, out of foot traffic. An enclosed tank will need to be hard mounted and fill and vent hoses provided and they need to meet a certain spec. [/QUOTE]
