Fuel tank inspection
Patrick McAneny
I want to clean my fuel tank, I can only see one small cap that I assume is for the sending unit. Before I tear off the foam cover glued to the tank looking for a larger inspection port, I thought I would ask if one exists on the top of the tank.
Thanks, Pat SM Shenanigans

Hi Pat,

I have just been through the process, on sm251, we only have the sender opening, I sucked out all the fuel through the filters with my vacume extraction, opened up the outlet , put a light into the tank, I used a rag on a stick to wipe what I could, it was one of those job's that didn't really need to be done, it was really clean, a small amount of dark colored somthing on the bottom. About the size of a saucer. Just a thought before cutting the top for inspection openings.

Michael , Ann Sofie, I don’t want to cut a new port and will do the best I can through the existing port. Thanks for the info.

There are no hatches on your tank. So if you want to inspect, you have to make one.

I went thru the fill valve on mine. Flexible wand pretty much did the trick Aras SV/FIASCO Sharki #163 1988
