Hi Charles, That is awesome, nice work! I might have to sketch the pieces I need because all of them are currently in use on my boat. Might need a couple other parts too, if possible. Curious how long

Hello, we had to clean our fuel tank on our Tayana 37 and had pumped out most of the fuel. The grunge at the bottom was sucked out using a shopvac. Worked like a charm. Then spayed the inside with
