I was able to find the original manufacturer of the tanks Florida Marine Tanks (FMT), however they are no longer in Florida now located in NC. They have the original drawings. 6 weeks to build and a week to ship.

Both tanks are very accessible surprisingly. I agree, may as well replace - there is a customer fabricator in town who makes tanks. I have no idea why it sprung a leak, I have had the boat since new and the tanks have never been removed. When you did your new tank, did you do the fuel lines...

I have a 2006 Grady White 232 Gulfstream with two fuel tanks, Aux and Main. Mechanic is telling me that the Aux tank is leaking fuel, based on it is 19 years old, aluminum and has a small stress crack. What are my options for and your recommendations? Can you buy new tanks off the shelf to...

Good advise! I will reply back once I fix the issue.

My first test to diagnose is to start it up and turn both valves to the Main tank. If engines die then the issue is likely at the valve back towards the Main tank. Next, I will remove the fuel line from the main tank AT THE valve and see if gas is flowing. Need to be cautions with spillage...

As promised pictures below of the fuel valves and fuel Seperators. The valve on the left is for the Aux tank and the valve on the right is for the Main tank. Would you agree that the position of the valves below is only going to get gas from the Aux tank?

Boat has twin 150's with two valves that can feed both engines. You can run both engines from each separate tank or both engines from one tank. Currently only pulling gas from the Aux tank. Also two anti-syphon valves that feed inline with the two H20 filters. I will snap some pictures the...

No changes have been made to anything. The setup is as described as above with two valves etc. Would you agree that it can't be a fuel pump since boat runs great when fuel is coming from the Aux tank?

It is the Main tank that isn't getting fuel. The Aux tank is fine. I don't think the vent is blocked because I filled the tank up too high, and gas was spitting out of the gap and to be best of my knowledge the vent is under the cap.

I have a 2005 GW 232 with two tanks, Main and Aux with two separate fuel valves on the port side of the aft. No fuel is coming from the main tank but no issue with the Aux tank. I am 100% sure that the fuel valve is open. Any idea how I can test to see what the problem could be?

I am getting cushions redone but what do I do about armrests? They are full of mildew and stains and will not come clean. My boat is a 2006 232 Gulfstream.

Thanks for all of the responses. I went with half tank of gas and stabilizer. Boat will be pulled and dunked in April.

Pulling boat this weekend. I usually fill up both tanks and put in stabilizer. Do you all do the same prior to storage or wait until spring?

So as I read more about the earlier F150 engines, I have a 2005 and a 2006 and they both do have a small whining so I was thinking about replacing both Harmonic Balancers. Recommendation on where to buy?

So I miss stated above. The ECM was fine. It was however the wiring harness and two bad injectors. Plenty of top end but the motor still runs rough and has lots of vibration. Noticeable difference when idling over the other motor on how it shakes. Any ideas?

Ok - so after all of the parts replaced- ended up the ECM and wiring harness was bad and causing lack of fuel to cylinders 1&3. Mechanic took it out and said it runs great. I am picking it up tomorrow morning and dunking it ASAP and will advise.

So yesterday I took the fuel tank off my Boston Whaler and connected in directly to the fuel line north of the primer ball. No change, same issue. I replaced the filter fuel filter that resides in the small bowl with red floating gasket in the very front of the engine No change, same...

Here is a thought. As I stated earlier the port engine runs great and that is pulling fuel from the same tank however there are still other variables with fuel lines, fuel valves etc. I was thinking of connecting a portal fuel tank just south of the primary ball and see if this fixes the...

How do you measure the fuel pressure?
