03 Stingray 180LX possible fuel tank leak

[Jpspaz]

I have to gain access to my fuel tank because it might be leaking and I'm wondering how impossible it might be. After I remove the seats and pull up the carpet is there an access hatch? I don't know how the plywood is laid and if it is fiberglassed over. Anyone suggestions appreciated.

Is there not an access port to where the fuel sender is located? The gasket around the fitting is a common source of leak. Here's mine.

In mine the front floor panel had to be removed.

Yes I can get to the area where the sending unit and fuel lines are attached. Totally dry there so it's possibly a split or crack in the tank. I need to inspect the whole thing or at least get in there enough to tell if it's leaking. I have a hint of fuel smell in the center ski locker but I feel like it's always smelled that way when it's first opened.
