Reply: If you knew where the leak was, if you had good access, and if you could completely clean the area to be patch, the tanks could be repaired with epoxy and glass cloth. I did not find any "miracle stuff" on the market that convinced me that they could provide satisfactory results. Charles Cullota has a good write-up on his website covering his fix for leaking tanks. http://www.geocities.com/charlesculotta/1024index.html I faced the same situation last fall and ended up replacing all four tanks with new aluminum tanks. I can now sleep well knowing the fuel is in the tanks rather than the bilge. Gary Brobst m/v Waypoint 49' Defever RPH Oak Harbor Marina Slidell, LA
