Either way the pvc pipe under the tank was cracked and the foam under the tank is waterlogged so i guess it was worth it regardless. I cant imagine where else the fuel came from as it was in the keel and i noticed it after the boat had been sitting in the water a few days. Either way thanks to all who helped. Ill follow up with some more details and pics as well as my rebuild so people can use this thread as reference in the future.

Inspect the barbed fitting that the fill hose connects to. Mine was corroded through on the underside, so that it leaked while it was filling. My tank apd had alot of deep pitting, so I'm glad its out. Still haven't replaced it yet, though.
