Hi guys
I am redoing my V-20 and i have the gas tank cover off. I see that you guys recommend removing the foam. I want to do it how should i remove it with a scraper? Also where my ender is a screw hole has corroded. I was going to clean up the tole and plug it with some marine tex and just us a sheet metal screw to mount the sender. What do you guys think thx in advance. |

Well it is recomended if you have to remove the tank, but if it anit broke don't fix it!~
Now if you start playing with it you might find yourself replacing the tank since you have issues already with the sender? As far as the sender goes, I guess you fix will work, But I get rid of the sender all toghter if it was me. My boat hasn't had a gauge in 9 years and I no miss it. Good Luck !!

I removed all of the foam on top of my tank. I just used putty knives to do it. I also used a self etching primer to coat the top of the tank so as to try and inhibit corrosion. Look at the thread I did for hatch repair, it shows what I did.

i usually sharpen a wide putty knife and on a stone till razor sharp and then just scrape it all off and cut it outof the hatch hole as well.

I took my boat to a car wash and blasted out the foam with a pressure washer. Took about 10 bucks in quarters. Just make sure you don't get busted! ;D 8)
