Snap old chap, Good to hear from you.. I too am redoing my engine spaces. I have desided to leave the fuel tank in place. In my "30" the tank sits up hill slightly from the engine and every thing is quite clean and dry. The engine mounts however were really torn up when they replaced the Atomic-4 engine with the Yan-Mar. It looked like it was fitted with an axe. I need to reshape and reglass the stringers. Mean while I''ve been cleaning and sanitizing that whole section of the bilge where the engine lay. My goal is to make it better than new. Plan to paint that area a real light color, maybe white. Just a Month or so ago I had a fuel scrubber do the tank and am very happy with the results. every thing else about the tank looks good so I desided to leave it be.. Thanks for the note old boy and GOOD sailing. firemanbob
