Jarnotski Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Long story short - I found my below deck fuel tank with an 1/8" drill bit. Once I figure out how to get the tank out, does anyone have any ideas for repairing the hole. I'd hate to have to buy a whole new tank. Incase it matters, I have an '02 Crestliner 1850.

boatfixer Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Aluminum? Pull it, drain it. Find a good aluminum welder and go on his recomendation as to how to purge it of fumes. I'd explain how I've done it but its better to let the welder go through his procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boatfixer Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Then you should be able to get an epoxy that is made for plastic gas tanks and make the repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
