Gas Tank removal

[Joeyforce]

Hello all I have a 1986 wellcraft spyder nova that sprung a leak at the end of the season. Im not sure if im in the right forum. Looking for any tips on pulling this bad boy out. It is foamed in.

Ayuh,..... If there's no hatch, ya gotta cut one out,......

Then just start diggin' til ya get the old tank out,.....

Yea theres a hatch its removed. Is there solvent to dissolve the foam

NO

However a wire cup brush on the end of a drill extension will chew the foam up, then simply vacuum the foam powder with the shop vac

this is my patented version

Another farmer trick...... if the bottom of the tank is bonded to the foam you can get thin steel aircraft cable, put handles on each side, get it across the bottom and use as a cable saw while pulling from one side to the other while sawing
