At the risk of annoying a number of purists, i thought I'd post an update. I found a very generous youn couple that offered to hel me remove my leaky tank. I don't get my staples out from my liver cancer surgery for two more days still so I'm not of much help.. James was able to get my battery bank disconnected and out of the way and he waa able to get the board the bank was on out as well. I ordered a replacement tank with the identical measurements, $585 with shipping and taxes. Today he tried to pull out the old tank and he could not get it to budge! All hoses and fittings removed, she's nestled between two massive stringers and my twin ford lehmans... Ww boght a big crowbar to try to pry it loose and nothing. James is not a small guy and he wrestled with it for a good hour and no progress. No apparent brackets or braces or glues or sealants anywhere. Just wiil not budge in any direction.. Tomorrow we're trying a come along suspended from a big beam spanning the engine hatches.. Any clues? 1981 Formosa 42' trawler...
