The address is still in FL on the sticker. Does this mean its a replacement tank? Also there were sheets of foam in decent condition around it, and it's not glued down at all. I know this because it's floating on all the water in the compartment. The tank is aluminum painted green. I believe Florida Marine made the OEM tanks as well. The previous owner just ran on deck tanks, saying he didn't know the condition of the tank and didn't want to worry about it. He bought the boat in 2010. Is there a source for the in deck fuel gauge and hatch? Thanks for the help. Pics are coming soon of the new project.

That is not unheard of and does not mean it has be replaced. FMT made the original tanks and still produces replacement tanks from the original drawings. I would be more concerned with the fuel vent, fill and motor fuel hoses than the tank. If they are original, replacement is very very important. Is there something wrong with the fuel gauge? Are you are talking about the clear round cover in the deck to view the gauge? Is it missing or just cloudy? Edited by Phil T on 05/23/14 - 5:28 AM

The housing is broken into multiple pieces. I am replacing the fuel tank cover with starboard anti skid. I'd like to have an access cover for my plastics guy to fit to it. I will replace the hoses first thing. Thanks for the advice.
