I'm sure the RNLI can sell you a new one but it wont be cheep

They do come up on ebay from time to time

[PeterM]

What's that black one on eBay worth in real terms?

I've got a 50 litre orange tank, you'll have to wait until I'm back in the uk to see it

[PeterM]

Ace, catch up when you're back. May have a little work on the mini ribcraft for you to. Pete

Alex, remember you sold me that orange RNLI one - do you remember what capacity they are?

Mine are 27L

I have a spare one, but its split 😔

How do you find them when lightly filled or running low guys? (as you can guess I've never used mine!) do they work ok with say 5 litres or less in or do you get this 'sitting at the bottom'?

Our orange ones (22l plastimo) run down to about 0.5 to 1 litre before giving out. Pacer Marine had some orange ones last time I was in.

When they are in the Y, the pickup is at the lowest point so will draw until pretty much empty.

Filling them out of the boat is a nightmare.

Filling them in the boat is a nightmare! Especially when that dribble of fuel mixes with water and makes the deck an ice rink!
