I have a 1972 36' Uniflite sportfisherman. I'm having sludge problems in the old aluminum tanks that are in the engine compartment alongside the motors. They would be impossible to remove without removing the entire sole of the boat. My question is: Could I install new fiberglass tanks in the compartment under the salon? I have lots of room there and would rather have one large tank serving both motors than two separate tanks. Is there any reason that the tanks have to be in the engine compartment vs under the salon. if they are installed properly there should be no fumes. If I thought I could clean them out I would but from reading most of the forums on the topic of cleaning gas tanks it sounds like a sketchy solution.
