I've replaced the entire fuel system except the tank. I think it's aluminum. I did free it once to lift it up so I could see underneath. No noticeable corrosion. New fill hose, vent, lines, racor and polishing filter.
Last year the attendant at a marina I was at accidentally filled the tank with diesel! The marina paid for a waste disposal truck to come down and pump the tank out. Then we put about 10 litres of gasoline in and pumped that out too. I like to think I got a free tank cleaning ... they paid for the fill, dinner, a night at the marina and a LIMO (to take us to dinner). Yeah, they made good on their mistake, and then some.
