I have a 1989 202 Sportcraft CC and need to remove a leaking 70 gal. gas tank that is very well foamed in. Any tips to make this easy?

If you can cut the foam away using a small sheetrock saw (hand held) and get to the leak you might be able to JB weld it in place. It just takes time but cutting away by hand is probably the safest.<br /><br />Bob

thanks Bob, did the hand method, more like work than anything else, once the sides were dug free<br />pressure from a crow bar finally broke it loose.Leak was on the bottom, all the foam was gas<br />soaked and needed replacement anyway
