Hello all -
I had the left tank on my 1966 180 removed due to a fuel smell when the tank was full. This turned out to be be because of the busted rubber coupling to the vent line spike on the bottom of the tank, an easy fix.
This issue though, is that the sender unit seems to have a seep. See the attached picture. I am sure the seep is ancient, but I don't know if it is important.
Also, they told me the main fuel line (flex) was orginal and needed to be replaced, which I agree with.
I am stuck deciding whether to 1) repair the sender and 2) have the other tank checked out as well.
Low end $500. High end $2500 plus.
