If you own a boat that has fiberglass fuel tanks you must have a fuel supply issue! Fiberglass fuel tanks do not hold up to the fuel after many years of use and fuel additives, some tanks also have a coating of gel coat on the interior that starts to break down and plug off your fuel supply pick up and hoses after time. This can cost you as much as $10,000 to repair to replace the tanks. I have come up with a fix for this issue that seems to work really well. Depending on the location of your tanks and your pick up tubes you can do the repairs yourself for a couple 3 hundred bucks plus your time. I have done this several times to different types of tanks, first pump the fuel out of you tanks, remove the pick up tubes from the tanks if possible and add a filter to the end of the tubes and reinstall. I have also fabricated new pick up tubes to tanks that the tubes are not accessible, after replacing the tubes clean all of your fuel lines and replace your filter and you will be as good as new. Many ways to do this but here are some pics of what I did on the last one I repaired, any questions PM me, Happy Boating !!
