i think the right way would be to pressurize the tank to the stated pressure on the mfg tag (usually 3 psi) and see if it holds pressure. of course a visual external and internal is highly recommended, you don't know when the tank will let go. enclosed are photos of my original factory 60...

HI, i was wondering if anyone here has used a Deutsch connector and what did they use for a crimping tool? The vendor wants $300.00 for the crimper and i really dont want to pay that much if someone has a better and cheaper way. jet.

Hello, I read an article in boating magazine a few years ago, Stating not to install a check valve after the bilge pump. In a recent article this year they show a check valve install. Like any one opinion on that. I'm getting ready to install two new pumps with new lines on my boat. Jet

i just purchase a black pool cover for my boat 12x 24 oval winter cover with 8 year warranty(arctic armor) from amazon prime for $30 free s/h.

your welcome, the foam surrounding the tank is the killer, its a PITA to remove and its damaging to the tank because it holds moisture.

i read an article on by a marine surveyor about fuel tank installation and it said to stay away from foam or anything that will support moisture. that's why i am using starboard to support the tank on bottom and sides.
