At least in my opinion.



"And, if you'd like to put a drain hole in the bottom of your tank, have at it. Tell me how that works out, especially when your bilge water starts smelling alot like diesel."

Sorry, but that is a rather ignorant statement.

A proper stripping port located at the lowest spot on a fuel tank is a good thing. And not at all likely to leak.
Well, that's good to know. Funny how fuel tanks, without exception, have their stand pipes for fuel withdrawal at the top rather than at the bottom. Might have something to do with leak prevention over the long term? And, sorry for my ignorant assessment.
