Default OT- (way off topic) Fuel tank repair

Is anyone aware of a reliable method
of tank repair in place?

I would try to do it right the first time, pull the engine, service
the engine, pull the tank, service or replace tank.


This is the right way to do it. The cost of doing it is upwards of seven
grand.
I am just looking at vessels. If there were a reliable method of fixing
a tank in situ for a grand, it might be the making or breaking of a
deal. Remember that a vessel of this size is probably not in your garage
where you can tinker with it after work. It sits in a boatyard that
charges money to have it sit there. Because it is away from home you
don't have the resources of your shop to bring to bear against the problem.

Thanks,

Kevin
