Re: Fuel Tank
Hooper, sounds like you are getting good advise. Your tank at 19 years old may be pushing it. I would recommend at least doing a good inspection of it. Pits in the aluminum should be pretty obvious on the top and sides but its the ones on the bottom tat can be trouble. Depending on where a pinhole could be , you might not ever smell fuel, but you might notice a lot of water in your fuel.I dont think the tanks are foamed in, but if they are, water gets caught in between foam and the tank and accelerates the corrosion. I am getting ready to inspect my 2 55 gallon tanks shortly.Good Luck, let us know what you find if you do inspect it-Craig
