1978 V20 Steplift trying to find leak?

[Wolf]

I have a 1978 V20 cuddy, Blue Runner is correct 8 to 10 gallons is insignificant. If you have a leak it can only becoming from a pretty major crack or from one or more thru hulls.As far as the fuel tank being unhooked it is about 99% chance the fuel tank is shot. The way to check for leaks is to pressurize the tank with compressed air it should hold 3 psi for 30 min. DO NOT exceed 3psi. I replaced my tank 2 years ago. Not to bad of a job of course the foam is a bit of a pain to dig out. If there is a lot of water in the bow it would cup up the cuddy drain. I live right down the road in Daytona Bch. If you would like we to email you a few pictures of my tank replacement private message me your email address.
