I NEED HELP:confused: :confused: Its bad when I am quoting myself, but I really need help with this delima I'm in. I dont want to destroy the boat getting the tanks out, but they need to go, they are ugly and full of crap.http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...7fuel_tank.JPG
How about a super tool (4" abrasive disc on a die grinder)? Maybe you could cut the tanks into small sections with that.
My son-in-law is in the procees of removing the tanks from his 73 Schiada. Someone convinced him the varnish(very old gas) in the tanks was the resin breaking down because of "hot" gas. So, he started cutting them out when all they needed was a good flushing!! Anyway, the sawsall idea worked for most of cutting, and a hacksaw blade wraped with tape got into some of the tight spots.. Where they were moulded to the boat, (bottom, and outside,) I think he just sanded down the rough edges and left the extra thickness of glass attached.... I bug him EVERYDAY to call IMCO and get them started on the replacement aluminum tanks, his boat has been down over 3 years because of BAD advise about what was actually in the tanks.............Moneypitt
Sanger Rich, you know any fireman,one of my freinds a fireman helped me in a jam like that with the jaws of life or tank death in your case, from what i saw they could smash it down then cut it into pieces, its a little extremem but u know what they say
