I had my yard replace my primary fuel tank several years ago. Neither the
engine nor the quadrant had to be removed. The yard cut out the panel just
ahead of the tank, removed the panel on the starboard side of the engine,
removed the water heater and cut out a piece of the bulkhead just aft o

Thanks for all the options...knowing them is half the battle. I checked with

... they suggested removing all fuel and trying a pressure test at no more than
7psi. Off to get half a dozen 5 gallon Jerry cans :-(

I worked on a big motoryacht once and the fuel tanks were molded into
the hull. The bottom of the fuel tank was the bottom of the boat. The
access plate on top of it leaked and it was a biatch and half to seal it
up. The leaking diesel had left a waxy coating on the fiberglass that

Yep. Years ago I did the same with a fuel tank on an old motorcycle
that had been idled for a while. I removed the tank, threw in a handful of
gravel, shook it around to remove rust, etc. Flushed it, poured in some
fuel tank repair epoxy, swirled it all around to coat the tank and
re-installed i

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 acc
Hi,
I hope you mopped the diesel up and cleaned with soap as much as you could
as quickly as possible. I've read about horror stories of diesel eating
the gelcoat / getting into the substrate and causing much worse damage...

Grand Banks have iron fuel tanks that rust through and were installed
prior to the engines and the deck. The usual routine with them is to cut
them apart and remove the pieces and replace them with smaller tanks
that fit through the hatches. My friend's boat has a leaking gas tank
glassed in pl
