Fuel Tank Replacement Project
1993 Grady White Escape 209, 20' center console
fuel tank size 82 gallons
Replacement tank will also be aluminum.
And we are underway.... Haul, clean, empty, pump out fuel tank and deliver into winter shop, owned by a very generous friend who I am already thinking about how to compensate for his offering to take in the boat. And then i was able to hire his young employee who will do much of the removal and replacement when he is not tuna fishing! He is also a marine trade school grad, so win, win for me. Charlie also drove the launch so we are familiar with each other and he already said there were positions he struggled with getting some of the wiring and hoses disconnected, so no way I was going to be able to do it with my replaced knee...
But we already found something we did not expect. A full deck was under the console, when I was thinking we would be exposing the tank in its own coffin when the console was pulled.... More next week.
