We have a 1982 Hershine with dual Ford Lehman 120s fed by dual 200 gallon fuel tanks and have an apparent leak from our stbd side tank. There is no obvious access to get into the hull and see whether or not the leak comes from a seam or a cracked fitting or ????? I am hoping to find someone who has had experience with this and can advise us as to what we might do before doing a costly and destructive investigation.
 
Unfortunately, the leak was in a completely inaccessible area. It couldn't be reached or even seen from the outside, even with mirrors. Flushed the tank with a water-based cleaning solution, examined the tank closely; the tank looked really good inside and we just couldn't see anything out of order....
