You can pull the fuel gage sending unit under the queen berth and access the tank that way. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C&C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA On Mon, Jul 31, 2017 at 12:54 PM Alan Liles via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I'm currently trying to clean my fuel tank. I've pumped out

I'm currently trying to clean my fuel tank. I've pumped out all I can get through the engine fuel supply line. I'm planning on sucking the bottom out through the full line. My question, to all you 37+ owners, is; Is there a cleanout port on the top of the tank? I don't want to remove the berth a
