well, make sure its not from hoses to /from fuel valves & filters. check the bulbs

do you have a puddle of gas in the bilge? or a trace and heavy smell?

Its going to flow forward at rest . Check forward bilge.

Get both bilge areas dry.

In theory, you can connect the outlet of the fuel filter/water separator to a fuel pump and fill up your dock neighbor's boat.
Most marinas don't like that but they don't like gas pumping out of the bilge either.

They are large tanks and the boat is tall out of water. It will require a forklift and or some crazy improvised pulley system
Mine were done by the PO so I have no insite for you.

Atlantic Coastal Welding is in Bayville,NJ.

It is definitely not from anything easily accessible. Yes, I had fuel in the forward and aft bilge. Now just the aft bilge prob has a couple of inches but no longer rising. I removed the float switch so that the pump wouldn’t activate and throw it overboar, but I’m sure it was goin over before I found out.
I’m not at a marina, the boat is on my lift at my house. Coincidentally, I have a 12v transfer pump being delivered tomorrow from Amazon. I could pump into my 25gallon gas caddy and deliver to neighbors.
im thinking that the faulty tank is the aux tank. The main only accepted 30 gallons so it was mostly full when I purchased in December. I’ve done a lot of work since December including all the sanitation hoses. I would have smelled fuel but I did not. SO, I did add approximately 20 gallons to the aux tank because the main wouldn’t accept more. That was just this week.

The place that I stored over winter has a front end loader (heavy duty tractor with the front end loader attachment and rear attachment to move boats around). I guess that’s what it’s called. I wonder if we can put the boat in the water over there next to the bulkhead to remove and then replace the tanks?

Good, at least you are not in the water. Sounded like you were because your were running to burn off gas.

There is a procedure for pressure testing to find a leak. You can do that to verify. Google it because I can't tell you every step.

Thats the right piece of equipment. You'll have to talk to them about what they'll do and what they'll charge.
Pretty much its a boatyard job. I did a 60 gallon tank on a 20 ft myself. I can't imagine pulling these in my driveway on a trailer.
