Default What else is going to explode.d

In the last 24 hours I have found out that my boat is an illegal copy of a V20 and that I am about to explode any minute because the carburator on the boat is not a marine carburator. Please take a look at the picture of the gas tank and see if you see any other major fire hazards.






On the picture below you can see the gas line comming out of the aft-port side of the tank

You may consider taking that yellow C4 explosive out.

Just kidding I know it is foam.

Your fuel line is copper and looks like t is corroding.
It will take a long time to go through, but I would still consider replacing,
if it is not piited too much.

I gotta ask, what is the meaning behind your screen name?

Illegal copy of a v20 or not, I think your Fibra is a nice boat, and I would guess pretty rare since Fibra was shut down not long after starting production.

Default screen name

Yes my first name is Joaquin and my last name is Barbará. In english the á is not common so it degenerated into Barbara. So now people think that Dr. Barbara is a cute female doctor but it turns out it is a middle aged overweight bald guy. Oops.

Now about the copper line. What should I change it for?

Run a new rubber gas line that is rated marine and for the new ethanol gas. Do the vent, and gas line all the way to the motor.
