So after seeing all the hassle others on here have with gas tanks in the 170's I was curious. I just bought this boat two weeks ago, and to my knowledge, the tank is kosher. Holds a full tank of gas, at least I think. I havent noticed any gas in the bilge at all....which is where I would assume the gas ends up when leaking out of the tank. However.....the boat does need a gas sender and gauge, and so today I removed the 4 inspection hatch over the tank to take a peek....and I smelled gas. Ahhhh! I'm going to paint the boat soon and was going to pull the console out to paint it, I guess I should pull the gas tank cover too and poke around a bit. I REALLY hope I don't have to replace it.
Thoughts?
