James, Sure it is the tank? Not a fitting or hose? If truly the tank and it's gotta be replaced, see the attached pics. I believe taking it out thru cockpit liner would be easier then opening up the engine compartment bulkhead and stringer. Glasdave has worked on my boat (several times) and is familar with the fuel tank placement. I will ask Dave about the correct method of tank removal/replacement.

Thank you. I looked at the rear of the tank and removed the foam so i could see from the top to the botton of the tank so I could see the whole backside. Unfortunatly, the gas is coming from beneath the tank and is flowing both forward and sternward into both bildge areas. I had to drain the tank dry and replumb the port engine to feed off the starboard tank so my capacity is cut in half. I will try to borescope the tank and determine if a repair is possible through the sender unit hole. Probally gonna have to remove the tank and have it welded and appreciate any advise on removal of the port tank- Thanks = James
