That tank looks new compared to my old one! I had a couple of fist sized holes plus a bunch of dime sized ones, so many I didn't even bother counting the small pin holes. The boat didn't have any smell of gas or leaks in the bilge. I had taken it out at least half a dozen times. It finally started to have just a slight bit of gas in the bilge. I figured it was a loose hose connection. I pulled the cover off and pushed down on the tank with my foot and gas shot up like a geyser from between the tank and the foam.
