I'm still going back and forth as to if the tank is actually leaking or not. The boat is tilted back and the bilge is bone dry. I did smell some gas fumes when I removed the livewells but I also did spill some when draining the tank. I cleaned it up with bilge cleaner to remove the smell but its still there. If i leave the livewells out there is no smell. I may put some more bilge cleaner in and run it without the livewells in just to see if that removes the smell. There are no gas fumes when I open the front access panel so I just dont know what to make of it. I guess I always fear the worst.

Yeah it is a PITA to get the tank out on a '78. I cut the deck up aft of the removable access cover. I replaced my tank with a 52 gal tank from overtons. It took some glass work in the bilge area, but it was worth the 6 gallon increase in capacity.

Here is a few pics of the job in progress.
