Allen,
Your aluminum tank should be salvageable. A thorough inspection after you remove it will tell the real story. A leaking weld can be easily repaired. If it is electrolysis or something else, then you may need a new tank. I hope it’s an easy fix. Hope to see you out for Southern Bay Race Week. You don’t need an engine to compete! :) Jake Jake Brodersen C&C 35 Mk-III “Midnight Mistress” Hampton VA From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of allen via CnC-List Sent: Monday, May 2, 2016 10:58 To: [email protected] Cc: allen <[email protected]> Subject: Stus-List Leak in my fuel Tank Bad news, found some diesel in the bilge. Sopped it up with absorbent blanket, traced the leak back to the bottom of the 18 gallon aluminum tank under the aft berth. Tank sits in a molded tray, now filled with diesel. More absorbent blankets now at work. Pumped and cleaned 9 gallons of fuel into jerry cans. I suspect a leaking weld. Anyone have similar symptoms? What was cause? It will be another day or two before I can pull tank and take a look. Thanks, Allen Miles S/V Septima Hampton, VA
