2019 Winter Fuel Tank Repairs

As we were wrapping up the boat at the end of the 2018 season the smell of diesel fuel in the saloon was not a good sign. Further inspection led to the discovery that our mild steel fuel tank was leaking into the bilge. An epic struggle later we were able to get the tank out from behind the engine and off to the local welder to make a more durable stainless steel one.

Dwayne is having a busy winter fixing plow trucks and such but he promises that by spring we will have a shiny new tank ready to install. With a little hope we will have good sailing in 2019 with no fuel smells at all.
