So I started looking at getting my tank out of the boat today and after pulling the pickup tube and discovering there was no check valve in it, I decided it needed to come out. Not a lot I could do to it in there. Unstrapped the straps holding it down, removed the fill tube and vent etc and rotated it as far as I could. The tank had some glassed in strips of wood surrounding it to help keep it from moving and the one in front of the tank was causing problems. Got out the trusty All Purpose Tool and managed to access half of it, then had to swing the tank to Port to access the other. Swing it back around Starboard and could see I was going to need every 1/8" I could get. Wires, hoses all had to go. The part of the toe kick/foot rest or whatever you want to call it. AP Tool then, then jig saw, then sawzall and a BFH. Cutting right next to the hull was a bit unnerving. Anyways got it swung around fore and aft and it came out. Tooks a lot of wiggling. Thought I was going to have to pull the seat but reclining it was good enough. Pulled the sending unit and looked at the gunk inside. Nasty. As you can see by the pic, that is what the gas in the bottom of the tank looked like. The last 1/2 gallon or so I could not pump out. At first I thought there was no way that tank is going back in, but after doing some research, I can not find a tank that will fit correctly. If it is any bigger in any direction, regardless of how many gallons, it won't fit. So now I'm debating having this one done or doing something myself. At least I'll know everything will line up again.
