[C320-list] Full tank smell

[Jon Vez]

I had this problem--my leak was in the same spot. You will need to remove
the wood trim around the opening in the aft cabin. Once the fuel is removed,
it is a pretty straightforward job. The hardest part is removing the floor
above the tank--but it is doable...good luck...

We just spent two weeks in the Bahamas dealing with a diesel  leak.  I did 
the same thing with the absorbent towels, actually used baby  diapers.  The
fuel 
is leaking from the tank,  port forward  corner.  The tank also moved
forward 
1" and the strap holding the tank down  is loose.  We are pumping out the 
fuel tomorrow to remove the tank.  I  understand someone mentioned the tank
will 
come out thru the opening in the aft  cabin????  Has anyone removed their
fuel 
tank?  Any  suggestions??  Also the tank is not 20 gallons as stated by 
Catalina, it is  19 gallons.
Wish us luck....
