[frers-list]Fuel Tank

[frers-list@lists.frers33.com]

Rod, Don't know how useful this is as I have a Frers 36. My fuel tank is si=
tuated under the port settee. Hardest part (not very hard) was getting the =
settee sliding support board out of the way - required bending the board to=
 remove it from its slot. I then needed to disconnect and remove the fuel f=
ill line, the lift pump lines and the fuel gage sender unit wires, all very=
 easy. Tank was held in by two straps, again very easy - two screws undid t=
he straps and tank came right out. My tank is aluminum and was rotted throu=
gh all along the bottom corner length, (tank is of triangular section). Cle=
aned-up corrosion and had a local welder weld a 2 inch section along the le=
ngth of the tank. Used some smooth garden pebbles which I shook (more slide=
 than shook) around the tank, to clean the inside of the tank and flushed i=
t out for about 20 minutes with a garden hose. Cleaned-up really well. Inst=
alled tank beginning of last season and touch wood, I have not had the fuel=
 supply issues I was having since. I replaced the sender unit (cheap) and t=
he lift pump fuel lines while I had everything disassembled, which was very=
 worthwhile in my case.    =20

Has anyone removed and/or cleaned out their plastic fuel tank? If so did it=
 come out easily or were you able to clean it out in place.
