After the watertank was sorted I started thinking about gas. Love or hate it on boats, it's the only proper way to cook. With the current rear deck there was nowhere to put one bottle let alone a pair, I had to find somewhere else...

Here's a convenient place, I can fit two Calor 7Kg butane (6Kg propane) bottles in the dead space behind the water tank.
It means moving the fromt T stud though.


The hole for the old water filler has to be dealt with too.


I made up a container to 'drop in' at home, the square plate in the middle keeps it square whilst welding in.


Gratitous leg shot.


A solid drain pipe will deal with any leakages.


A lid, again made up at home, finishes it off. The T stud has been reattached further back too on the right.


All done, a good days work.
