boat project
well for a while on my boat smelt gas here and there but not really bad we noticed the carb kept pourin in gas when the motor was turned off so rebuilt that and stoped doing that so problem solved but nope started smelling gas again and this past weekend checked everything and was no leaks so had to be the gas tank.
So sat pulled the gas tank what a pia had to trim the sides of the floor under the hatch so the tank could fit out. when we got the tank out was corroded all over and even had a small hole in one end so getting a new tank for that going with polyethelyn (plastic) instead of aluminum like the old one.
Along with that going to build a wooden deck up where i drive so can stand higher and see better when driving. Will have pics as it comes along.
