Re: Big arse fuel tank

We do afew big trips a year and I been thinking of way to carry extra fuel. I have 210l under the floor and usually carry 5 jerrys or when I find a 60l drum we use 2 jerrycans.
We been kicking around the idea of getting big fuel bladder for our next trip but thought it be difficult to move on boat. I don't think I could move 100l bladder from the bow and then lift it onto the gunnels to syphon out. Are you guys using fuel pumps?
My mate 545 boat has 100l bolted to his casting deck. Fully loaded with gear and beers it pushes the bow down until the front tank empty. It changes the ride significantly as the motor sits a lot higher In the water.
