Hello, I have a 1979 C&C 34 with the original aluminum fuel tank. I've recently had some engine shutdown issues that I've traced to my fuel tank. Ideally I would like to replace the tank with a plastic one. That was recommended by the surveyor when I purchased the boat. The problem is access. The tank is 20 gallons and is too large to remove. On the other side, I would like to replace it with a similar size tank. The problems, 1. how to remove the original and 2. how to get the replacement in.
The other option I'm looking at to address the fouling issue is to clean out the tank. I just read an article in Practical Sailor on using a power washer. Any suggestions on that method or others for cleaning out the crud in the bottom of the tank would be appreciated. Thank you.
