[C320-list] Another fuel tank bites the dust

[Roland Ross]

I'm reading all these emails about the fuel tank problems.  It is something
that I haven't ever thought of, nor heard of before.  Is this a bigger
problem in salt water.  My boat is 10 years old and has always been in fresh
water.

I had the same problem, I bought the replacement tank from Catalina and you
do need to remove the shelf. Even after removing the shelf, it's a heck of a
job. Good luck.
