Hi Dennis,
One of our boat neighbors had a similar problem on a powerboat. He drained all
the fuel, cut multiple access ports in the top so he could get around any
baffles and coated the bottom and 3" up the side with an epoxy specially
designed to withstand fuel. He then made caps for the access ports and screwed
them down. It turns out that this kind of solution is evidently pretty common.
Food for thought,

While some don't care for them, fuel bladders are a viable option. Might want
to explore that option.

All....when tensioning the steering cable. It looks like the tank is sitting
in a pool of diesel....I an bummed. It is the original aluminum tank, but the
boat has only been in fresh water - Lake Michigan - so I had though I was safe
from corrosion. Access to the tank is very limited....the engine and a
retaining stringer would probably need to be cut out....at least that is what
Wally on Stella Blue did. I cannot think of other options....and am open to
ideas/suggestions. Cannot launch it as is...Spencer Johnson 84 LF38 "Alegria"
