How to test and remove leaking boat fuel tank - Haines Hunter 733 Cabin Cruiser Restoration PART TWO

Part two is all about the fuel tank. How we test it for leaks and what's involved in the removal process. I also show how we remove all the old foam that holds the tank in place with great results!

Came across your channel what a great project and you are great keep going

Watching your videos from Brazil!! Live mechanics and love, even more, boats! Here the boats use stainless steel or aluminum fuel tanks, avoiding corrosion... Keep going brother!

You can see why bilge blowers are essential for inboard petrol engines

Loving the videos - for emptying the fuel tank you should have hung a hose over the side and used a syphon technique - it would have emptied itself

Doing a great job there buddy.

Tough break with the fuel tank. I don’t know how much it costs where you are but I think the average is around $15-20 a gallon ($5 per liter) to have a new metal tank fabricated. You also have the option for a plastic tank. That might make it easier to carry around too haha. Awesome video, keep it up!

Syphon the water.

I'm curious about what caused that severe corrosion.

[@lesroberts2244]

Fit stainless steel tanks for fuel and water

Between removing water with sponges and tiny pumps I can’t understand why you haven’t made use of a shop vac!
