[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 400387, member: 432"] I can see it causing some flotation as long as it is sealed. The less fuel you have the more flotation it would have as long as it is sealed. The problem is that it will not be sealed. You have to have the vent open so your motor can run. If a catastrophic situation occurs you may not be able to or be in the right mind to remember to seal the tank before your boat sinks. I would not depend on a fuel tank for flotation in a boat.
