So I went down to the marina yesterday and pulled the tank hatch up. I sprayed some WD-40 on the fitting because I forgot to bring the liquid wrench. I’ll take it with me today and spray the fitting again. I’ll bring a wrench with me and see if I can budge it. If not, I’ll go down tomorrow and spray it again. Then, I’ll spray it every day for a week and see if it’ll budge after that. I figure if I spray it for 10 days, something’s gotta give. When I settle in for the evening I’ll order the primer bulb and the fuel/water separator filter. I’ll measure up the fuel line and run to west marine. They’re about 5-6 miles from my front door. When I get the fitting/anti siphon valve off and see what size it is, I’ll order that up and by that time, I figure I’ll be in for around $150. The real ***** is gonna be yanking the batteries out for unrestricted access.
Oh well, here comes boat mechanic’s yoga.
I’ll keep you guys posted and I’ll try to paint a mental picture because we all know what a pain in the a$$ it is to actually post a picture.
