Alan, My fuel tank was removed in 2011 to access the strut. I had my boatyard do it and didn't think there were any issues. The tank was not removed from the boat and may have only been lifted out of the way to get to the strut fasteners. It could be hard to remove the hoses.
Could it be possible that the tank was bedded on a sealant?

I have removed the aft berth to expose the tank top. I have removed the two hold down cleats (cut down 2x4 screwed to the tank well sides at the top). The tank still seems very solid, but I can't see anything else holding it. Has anyone else done this?
