We can definitely fix it. Can go back with the bladder tanks or aluminum. Message me your number & I will call u tomorrow.

I think I have an aluminum tank, is this something I need to worry about?

absolutley not ,just the crappy fiberous bladder tanks from atl and the way they were installed by fountain.
failure in the first 5 years for an 80 lb weight savings and tanks alone are $6000.00 plus labor and fiberglass work i would think a class action lawsuit should be in order,my 2-cents

I had Fountain change mine to aluminum last winter. There was over 50 gallons of fuel in the sub floor from the leaking bladders.

Its very expensive to change out and it be done right. I'm so happy I did it though!

How much is very expensive? Just curious..

4K for each aluminum tank to start...you can imagine the labor to remove bladders, suck out all the fuel below subfloor, remove entire cockpit to cut holes for tanks, install gas tanks, subfloor and upholstery.
