Not sure if this is the right forum for this question but here goes. I've got a 2000 22 ft Angler center console with a big gas leak somewhere. I put 15 gallons in the other day when it was on the trailer and it all ended up in the bilge. Fuel lines and fill line have been eliminated as the problem. I suspect that the tank(aluminum) is cracked or rotted because i can't explain how else it could come out so fast. I know the console has to come off to see what is happening down there. My questions:<br />Is anyone familiar with Angler boats and is this a common problem?<br />If I try to remove the console my self am I getting into a very big and difficult job?<br />I am mechanically inclined but no experience with this kind of thing. Thanks....

Re: Bad Gas Tank?

Chances are the tank is foamed in place.No big deal there.Is the console screwed down?If so,half of your problems are out of the way.If it is,unscrew,look under at the wiring,steering and shift cables.Check to see if you have room to move it over to the side,if not,you will have to unhook all.Its not hard,just alot on time.

Take the batteries out of the boat before you do anything...
