My Seacraft

been watching videos on youtube on how people don't install the tanks correctly and they use foam (which mine has) and how air cant get in and dry the water and the water slowly eats a hole in the tank and then you have a pinhole.

Worse if this is the case for me, then it sounds like you are replacing the fuel tank as it is unrepairable.

Sigh...

I spoke to GFS today, he said he would chime in about pressure testing the tank. Those hoses look old and suspect.

Appreciate the help though, just frustrated.

NO WAY that tank is 5 years old or less and leaking !!
It had to be a used tank...
The mold and tree debris & butt splices in your pics pretty much prove that ...
There is a tank company in Perry on Hwy 98 just south of you.

Pull that tank and have a new one made than replace all hoses to boot.

Not that big of a deal, and less than a $1000 for the whole deal if you
DIY....

Just Do-it !

so you think its the tank? Btw my fiberglass floor piece over the tank has always been unsecured, I have lifted it multiple times over the 3.5 years of owning the boat, so the pine needles and dirt on the tank are my fault. But I swear the tank looked pretty new 4 years ago. But Like I said, looked like a cheap job of installing the tank was done. RDS Aluminum is in Perry, FL they also make the gun boxes for the Agents trucks here in Tallahassee for FDLE. Maybe they will give me a discount on a new tank, ha. So at this point before replacing lines etc, you think I should drain the tank and pull it?

Those clamps are new.

RDS has the tank drawings.
Those hoses are old.
About 2 k all in diy.

I had RDS do my SF tank a few years ago. About $10/Ga then. Surprised your tank isn’t painted. Whichever way you go I would paint the tank with coal tar epoxy. Unprotected aluminum and foamed in tank a good incubator for corrosion. Ask me how I know. Good luck.

Drain and pull it.

[TomParis]

I ordered a syphon pump, going to drain the tank and pull it. Thanks for everyone giving me input.

Been there done that. Get an old fuel pump and hook it up remotely to a battery.
