both my 42s 91 and 97 are located at the floor under the outside rear bench seat. Do you have carpet in your storage area?

My fuel gauges are funky so I'd like to access the senders , I'm going to get a better look under the seat tomorrow .
Are the tanks directly under the cockpit ? What is their life expectancy ?

Suckers are almost dead center under the rear seat access ports , I must be blind .
Now I need to figure out how to test them .
