Is it safe to cut a hole in the top of diesel fuel tank without removing the
fuel?
I recently bought a Shamrock 200 cuddy cabin inboard diesel, with two 26
gallon fuel tanks. The boat was made in 1984. I also own an Atlantic 30 LRC
built in 1983. When I used a Gulf Coast fuel polishing system on the two 100
gallon tanks, I filtered out a couple of gallons of black diesel sludge. I am
sure the fuel in the Shamrock is also this dirty. Unfortunately, there is no
fuel gauge on the Shamrock so no fuel sending unit access; the only access to the
two tanks is through the fuel filler hose. This is insufficient access to
clean the fuel / tank. My intent is to drill a hole to fit a fuel sending unit,
and also use that access hole to polish / clean the fuel / tank.
Would appreciate your input.
