[Rhodes22-list] Gas Tanks

[Ronald Lipton]

Bill,

   Thanks for the information, I was in no hurry.  I googled it and  
found a couple
of descriptions:

gascan.htm

By the way, 60 degrees in Chicago yesterday It the boat wasn't so  
securely packed for
the winter we could have considered sailing in January - back to the  
teens by Tuesday,

Ron
