Re: Fuel tank up date
So,
The boat has been hauled. I'm not entirely sure that it's the fuel tank, but it stopped leaking fuel into the bilge when the tank got down to around 20 gallons.
This leads me to think it has a hole about halfway up the tank, and that the lines, filler, vent are fine. (or course, I'll replace them too.) Got the console unscrewed and leaned over, got the hatch up and lines unhooked.
Just need to pull the steering so I can lift the console off and have at that nasty foam. (which is wet.)
The tank still has it's sticker on it . It was made by "Sportsman" in Miami, FL. 47 gallons. In the place labeled "Year" it just says "10-8" Weird.
Any info as to this being an original tank from '79 or so?
It has six tabs, four of which were screwed to plywood blocks that are against the stringers. One of those tabs had separated from the tank.
Also, the tank has some swelling/ buckling going on, like a poly tank left in the sun with the vent closed.
Thanks for all your help guys, one of these days I might get around to posting some pics.
