Fuel Leak!!

[tony54]

I have a fuel leak! Raw fuel in the bilge points to the inevitable. I don't suppose anybody has had to deal with a leaking 195 gallon aluminium fuel tank centrally situated behind a bulkhead which is behind two engine/v drives, below the rear bunk/cabin under the hot water system and grey water tank? Is there an easy way? Does Mr Bayliner have any suggestions maybe? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go here <br /><br /> http://p076.ezboard.com/fbocwebfrm36.showMessage?topicID=20.topic <br /><br />at Bayliner Owners Club for instructions on how to remove the fuel tank from a Bayliner express cruiser. The links to the actual articles and pics are in the last post on the thread. May or may not help you. Good luck.

Re: Fuel Leak!!

Thanks guys for the responses. I have looked at every other possibility for leaks, but fuel is weeping out of the bulkhead in front of the engines into a lower bilge. All fuel connections in and out are at the top of the tank. The tank is now virtually dry but still weeping. The leak is obviously right on the bottom, probably corroded through I'd say. Anyway, I'll look at taking it out through the cabin as cited article suggested. Could be a lot easier than pulling out engines etc etc. I'll post the outcome.
