A Few Questions...

I have an aluminum tank on my V20, she is a 1987 anyone have any idea the fuel cap?
Also, I had to pump out the tank due to bad gas, I am on my 3rd fuel water seperator, because of a what looks like alge, I am gonna go ahead and slap the Racor on her and be done with it, and monitor it.
Also, I bought a Hummingbird Matrix 17 fishfinder, do any of you guys have this unit and if so, where is the best transducer mounting area?,,,,Dirk

If it's under deck, should be 60 gallons

1987 should be a 60 gal, the early under deck tanks were 40

Tank has alge?? That means it had water for some time in it??
I would remove the deck cover and the float, clean with what ever I could with some carb cleaner, and then stck rags in there to get out allthe stuff as best I could then use the Racor with some adsdative in the gas.

This probably ain't what ya wanna hear, but if mine was fillin' up a filter w/ algae, I think I'd have to PULL and replace or clean that puppy :-/....you can do a thousand other things to make it a reliable boat, but if the tank ain't clean, it'll never be dependable...which is pretty important for a boat ... ;)...

you might have a hole in it somewhere maybe buy the fill nozzel the welds do rust thats what happen to mine and had to replace the tank
do you smell gas sometimes in the cabin or on the deck if so check out the tank
