Default 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

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 ... ;)...
