Wow, no where near that much.... It was a drip. It was just enough to make a stain directly below and could see it run, but those crush fittings can go.

anybody know how to reach the filler neck to the tank right where the hose clamp is ? put some pressure on the tank and can hear air coming right back out . it sounds like its coming right back out the filler hose or the vent tube . tank wouldnt hold any pressure at all not even for a few seconds .

There is an access panal / cut out below the access hatch in head behind dash. You have to remove the actual coverings in the head including the door. Then you can access the fill and vent hose to the tank. Hopefully the issue ia visable there. Also remove the bolster seats and make sure someone didn't put an after market over sized screw in to hold the seats. If so it could have poked a hole. Good luck.

His is the tantrum. No pooper. We took the bench seat bottom off and you can see where the fill and vent lines come down and go through the stringer but you cant see anything else really. But you can hear the air around that area.

You should still be able to access the hull vent and fill hose through the access panel in the cabin. look to the left of the guage cluster and wiring. you may also be able to get to something if you remove the trim panel under the throttle.

Pull the panel in the cabin behind the driver's dash.
It takes all of 5 minutes to remove. From there you
have full access to the fuel fill & vent lines.

did that , everything is fine where they connect to the hull . Im trying to get to the top of the tank where the hoses connect . Im pretty sure now that my tank is busted so I have started looking for someone to cut the floor out of the boat so i can replace the tank .
