Have you tried a urologist?

Are you going to use Randys for the Race? I would think it would be easier to modify the plates then to repair the tank.

We are hoping to, but not sure it will fit. My boat is different then his in some area's. In the center where his plate goes is my scuba bottle. Randys fill neck is in the bilge mine is in the boat. We will know more when we can see it. For sure we will have to take our plate with the fuel pickup/return and add a vent (where the sender is). We will no have a fuel fill so we will pump it full on the return line.

Good luck, steve. Any luck with the plastics folks ultrasouns/RF welding it?
Man, i hope the loaner tank works out. I saw the pics of both, are we sure the fittings are the same size?

Not Really!

This is frustrating there are only two parts on The whole boat that are currently not spared or replaced/repaired in a hurry. The windshield (I gave my spare to a team with a cracked one) and the fuel tank.

I found 2 RF welders local. They were both part of manufacturing lines one was in a building I own. The problems was they were not happy about taking apart the line and working on some fuel soaked urethane.

As far as the fittings no were not!
I am taking my plate with the fuel pickup and return when I meet up with Bruce. If it is not compatible I will call fuel safe and hopefully get what I need shipped next day.

Should you call then and get a spare on the way anyway if possible?

Sounds like you won't be without a spare again, even if you can get this one repaired or the other one fits.....

Oh yea! Lead time is 3 weeks they are custom made. So I see a spare in my future. I also purchased a Fireboy fume detector!
