Re: T&T: Aluminum fuel tanks and brass fittings
Fri, Apr 29, 2011 6:39 PM
I also found some corrosion on the tops of my fuel tanks (in a lazzarette). If your tanks are in an area that will experience condensation, I would consider sloping the tops of the tanks ever so slightly, so that water doesn't pool on top. Don't use any foam or rubber that trap moisture on the bottoms of the tanks either.

Re: T&T: Changing fuel tank sight gauges
Tue, Jul 26, 2011 9:59 PM
By the way, our sight-glasses go into the top of the tank. No valve needed, and no spill when the tubing is removed from the upper fitting, no matter how full the tank is. Now before everyone writes and poo-poos this, I'll repeat it- the sight-glasses go into the "top" of the tank, not "towards the top of the tank".

When USCG and ABYC disagree
Tue, Apr 23, 2013 10:29 AM
As far as the differences between ABYC and USCG T-Boat -- my latest copy of the ABYC standards states that Propane lockers must open from the top and that the pressure dials must be visible. Mounting a tank horizontal in a top opening locker would seem to contravene the rules since one could not read the dial.

Removing Teak Decks
Tue, Jan 23, 2018 8:14 PM
Because of the thickness of the top layer of glass, the screws that were used to fasten the teak strips to the deck were able to be sized to penetrate into the top layer of glass, but not to go through it; thus little if any water intrusion into the coring. 2.

Re: [OpenSCAD] Unnecessary triangulation in linear_extrude
Sun, Jan 3, 2016 8:49 PM
I guess removing the hole in the top removes a trip through CGAL and the circle coordinates remain exactly equal. However I can't understand where the extra circle vertices come from as they are not numerically close to the real vertices.

Re: [OpenSCAD] Unwanted lines in the wireframe view

The result is that they have slightly different roof angles and/or the top roof is slightly offset +Z from the other. This leads to the same effect as with the cubes above. Carsten Arnholm
