Not sure about the condition yet. I actually started by removing the fuel tank hatch and water separator filter. My plan is to renew the whole fuel line, because it doesn't make sense to risk the new motor. The hatch cover core is rotten and will redo that. Tank itself looks quite okay from top, but I'll take it off and check it out. There's some old fuel left in the tank. Pumped out about 10 gallons, but run out of canisters. Some of the fuel lines have been renewed to be compatible with ethanol. Parts of the urethan were bit soft, some were fully dry.
