Re: Fuel tank
Amen to that brother! I once accidently drove a nail into a fuel line on our commercial gill netter in Alaska. We drove around for a while before we started to smell the gas in the bilge. Thats when I found out what I had done. Boy did I get in trouble for that!
My tank was pushing 30 years old and although it did not leak I decided to replace it anyway. The old Seacrafts do not have foamed in tanks so maybe thats why it lasted so long. However when I removed the tank there was some rubber adhesive that was attached to the bottom of the tank and when I removed it there was severe pitting under it. ONLY were the rubber came in contact with the aluminun. Rubber has carbon in it which reacts with the aluminun causing pitting.
